Eaton 9SX700 - 700 VA Online Double-Conversion UPS
Overview
The Eaton 9SX700 is an online (double-conversion) uninterruptible power supply (UPS) engineered to provide continuous, utility-isolated AC output and battery backup for sensitive electronic equipment on 120 V AC mains. It is deployed by IT engineers, network technicians, and facility infrastructure teams to protect servers, storage, network appliances, telecommunications gear, and other critical loads from power quality issues×including surges, sags, spikes, and outages×while delivering a true sine-wave output. Online double-conversion topology eliminates transfer time to battery and maintains output independent of input quality.
This UPS is rated 700 VA / 630 W with an output power factor of 0.9, providing usable load capacity for compact IT racks and small cabinets. Output is delivered through six NEMA 5-15R receptacles, and input is via a NEMA 5-15P plug on an 8 ft cord. Eaton's ABM battery management increases battery service life by up to 50 % and enables hot-swappable internal batteries for serviceability without downtime.
The unit's tower form factor (9.9″ H × 6.3″ W × 13.9″ D) and ~26.5 lb weight make it practical for placement in IT closets, network rooms, edge racks (on shelf), or distributed compute closets with space constraints. A graphical LCD interface combined with a 5-button user interface provides onsite visibility into load, battery, events, and diagnostics without requiring host-side software.
Communications include a USB (HID) port, RS-232 serial port, relay output, and Mini-Slot (MS) expansion port for optional connectivity cards (e.g., network/snmp, Modbus, relay), enabling integration with remote monitoring or automation platforms.
A practical deployment is protecting a small rack of rackmount servers, an IP-phone system, or NAS/storage clusters where utility power instability could cause data corruption or service interruption. The unit is not suitable for mid-to-large data center core rows where extended runtime via external battery modules or parallel UPS systems is required, as this model lacks native high-availability parallel capability.
