Eaton 5PX1000RTNG2 – Rack/Tower UPS 1000 VA 1000 W

Overview

The Eaton 5PX1000RTNG2 is a line‑interactive uninterruptible power supply (UPS) designed to deliver short‑duration battery backup and utility voltage conditioning for 120 V IT equipment. It is deployed by infrastructure engineers and network architects to maintain power continuity and mitigate outages, brownouts, and voltage disturbances for equipment in network closets, IDF/MDF racks, branch office cabinets, and edge compute environments. Specifications in this overview are verified from official Eaton documentation.

Rated for 1000 VA / 1000 W output with a true sine‑wave line‑interactive topology, this UPS conditions AC input and switches to battery when preset thresholds are exceeded, supporting protected loads through short outages or until orderly shutdown processes complete.

The unit ships in a 2U rack/tower convertible form factor with included rack rails and pedestal feet, allowing flexible deployment in standard 19‑inch racks or as a standalone tower. Integration into 120 V power distribution infrastructure is achieved via a NEMA 5‑15P input on a 10 ft cord and eight NEMA 5‑15R receptacles, matching typical North American plug standards.

Communications include an LCD graphical display for local status and diagnostics, USB (HID) and RS‑232 interfaces, and a pre‑installed gigabit network management card (NETWORK‑M2) for remote monitoring, alerting, and centralized power management integration (e.g., Eaton Brightlayer Data Centers suite). ABM (Advanced Battery Management) extends battery service life and provides advance replacement warnings.

For example, a branch rack powering a firewall, PoE aggregation switch, and a virtualized server can use the 5PX1000RTNG2 to maintain clean power and gain minutes of runtime — sufficient to trigger generator transfer or complete orderly shutdowns. This model is not suitable for high‑density loads above ~1000 W, extended runtime needs without external battery modules, or installations with 208/230 V mains without step‑down conversion.
