Eaton 5PX2000RTG2 – Rack/Tower UPS 1950 VA 1950 W

Overview

The Eaton 5PX2000RTG2 is a line‑interactive uninterruptible power supply (UPS) engineered for short‑duration battery backup and voltage conditioning of critical 120 V IT equipment. It is deployed by IT infrastructure engineers and network architects in network closets, IDFs, branch office racks, and edge compute cabinets to maintain AC power continuity during outages, brownouts, and voltage fluctuations, enabling orderly shutdowns or bridging to standby systems. Specifications are sourced from official Eaton documentation and verified across authorized sources.

This UPS is rated at 1950 VA / 1950 W, providing a true sine‑wave, line‑interactive output via a mix of (1) NEMA L5‑20R and (6) NEMA 5‑20R receptacles, suitable for typical server, switch, and network attachments in 120 V North American ecosystems. The unit uses a NEMA 5‑20P input with a 10 ft power cord to integrate into standard branch circuits without additional transformers.

Mechanically, the 5PX2000RTG2 is housed in a 2U rack/tower convertible chassis with included rails and pedestal feet, allowing installation in 19‑inch racks or standalone use in closets and edge spaces where space optimization is required. An LCD graphical display provides local status and diagnostics for real‑time monitoring.

Communications capability includes an optional Gigabit Network Card (Network‑M3) installed in a single expansion slot for remote monitoring, event alerts, and integration with centralized power management platforms such as Eaton Brightlayer Data Centers suite. ABM (Advanced Battery Management) extends battery service life and provides advanced warnings for replacement. Up to four external battery modules (EBMs) can be added to extend runtime when needed.

Practical deployment example: In a branch office rack feeding a cluster of firewalls, switches, and application servers, the 5PX2000RTG2 conditions utility power and sustains operation long enough to complete backups or transfer to generator power during brief outages. Not appropriate for racks with 208/230 V mains without step‑down conversion, high‑density loads above ~1950 W, or extended runtime requirements beyond feasible internal plus external battery configurations.
