APC SMTL3000RM2UCNC 3000 VA Lithium-Ion UPS 120 V
Overview :
The APC SMTL3000RM2UCNC is a line-interactive uninterruptible power supply (UPS) engineered to provide conditioned AC power and short-duration backup for critical IT infrastructure in 120 V single-phase environments. It is typically deployed by data-centre engineers, network architects, and infrastructure technicians to support servers, storage arrays, network switches, VoIP/UC systems, and edge compute platforms where battery-assisted power quality and outage resilience are required.
Rated at 3000 VA / ~2700 W, this UPS uses Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) to correct utility voltage sags and surges without engaging the battery wherever possible. Under battery support, the unit delivers a pure sine-wave output, compatible with active PFC power supplies and sensitive electronics. Lithium-ion battery technology offers extended service life and reduced maintenance compared to lead-acid alternatives, lowering total cost of ownership in distributed environments.
This UPS installs into a standard 19″ rack at a 2U height and includes rack mounting hardware for quick deployment in server rooms, IDF/MDF closets, and edge cabinets. The design optimises usable rack depth while maintaining battery capacity, making it suitable for high-density IT racks.
Management and monitoring are provided via SmartConnect Ethernet for secure cloud-based status and alerting, an integrated Network Management Card (NMC) for enterprise-class remote control, and USB/serial interfaces for host-based shutdown signalling. A front-panel LCD provides real-time information on load, voltage, and battery condition.
Typical internal runtime supports orderly shutdown procedures or generator handoff during short outages, and the lithium-ion chemistry ensures faster recharge times and long service life. This UPS is not designed for extended continuous runtime without external expansion solutions, nor for use in 208 V/230 V systems without the appropriate regional model.
