Eaton 5PX1500RTG2 ? 2U Rack/Tower UPS 1440?VA/1440?W

Overview

The Eaton 5PX1500RTG2 is a line?interactive uninterruptible power supply (UPS) designed to provide regulated backup power and voltage conditioning for rack?mounted and tower IT equipment operating on 120?V AC electrical systems. It is specified by IT infrastructure engineers, network administrators, and rack technicians to maintain continuity of servers, switches, storage systems, and peripheral network devices through utility power disturbances such as sags, surges, and unexpected outages, enabling orderly shutdown and minimizing unplanned downtime.

Rated at 1440?VA / 1440?W, this UPS employs line?interactive topology with automatic voltage regulation (AVR) and pure sine?wave output, supporting full rated load with unity power factor. The unit distributes power via eight NEMA?5?15R receptacles and accepts input through a NEMA?5?15P inlet with a 10?ft (3?m) cord. Its front?panel LCD graphical display shows load, battery, and event status, and communications support includes a USB (HID) interface and RS?232 serial for host monitoring. A single expansion slot accommodates an optional Gigabit Network Management Card for remote oversight within enterprise management frameworks.

The UPS is packaged in a 2U rack/tower convertible form factor (~3.4? H ? 17.2? W ? 17.6? D) with included mounting rails, making it suitable for standard 19? cabinets common in IDF/MDF closets, branch racks, and distributed compute locations where space efficiency and serviceability matter. User?replaceable sealed lead?acid batteries are hot?swappable, and Eaton?s ABM battery management extends service life and provides early battery replacement indication.

The 5PX1500RTG2 supports optional external battery modules (up to 4 EBMs) for extended runtime beyond the internal battery pack, allowing deployments requiring longer outage bridging without upgrading to larger core UPS infrastructure.

In practice, this UPS is applied to protect consolidated server pairs, network storage, virtualization hosts, and critical communications gear with moderate power draw. It is not intended for primary core data center UPS protection where external battery infrastructure and N+1 parallel redundancy are required, as it lacks native high?availability parallel configuration.
