APC SMTL3000RM2UC 2U Rack UPS 3000 VA
Overview
The APC SMTL3000RM2UC is a rack-mount line-interactive uninterruptible power supply (UPS) designed for IT infrastructure environments requiring conditioned AC power and backup runtime for critical systems. It is typically deployed by IT engineers and data center technicians to mitigate short-term power interruptions, sags, and surges on a 120 V AC mains network.
This UPS provides a 3000 VA (≈ 2880 VA tested) / 2700 W output capacity with a pure sine wave output waveform and automatic voltage regulation (AVR) to stabilize incoming line voltage. It uses lithium-ion battery technology to reduce maintenance needs and has multiple AC outlets for distributed loads.
The unit occupies 2 rack units (2U) of standard 19″ server rack space, with an input connection via a NEMA L5-30P plug and eight captive output receptacles (six NEMA 5-15R and two NEMA 5-20R).
In infrastructure topologies, SMTL3000RM2UC fits in IDF/MDF closets, branch server racks, network cabinets, and edge compute locations where equipment continuity and surge protection are required. Its SmartConnect port and SmartSlot expansion allow integration with cloud-based and local monitoring platforms such as EcoStruxure IT or a network management card.
A practical deployment example is in a small data center rack powering uplink switches, security appliances, and a small server cluster, providing conditioned power and graceful shutdown capability during outages. Conversely, this UPS is not suitable for locations requiring extended runtime without external battery packs or for high-density 3-phase power feeds
