APC SMT3000RM2UC – 2U Rack UPS 2700W

Overview :

The APC SMT3000RM2UC is a line‑interactive uninterruptible power supply tailored for sustaining power continuity and quality for rack‑mounted IT equipment. Designed for network engineers, systems administrators, and infrastructure teams, it provides managed backup power and voltage regulation to critical servers, storage arrays, network switches, and communication appliances. Its deployment addresses utility power fluctuations, brownouts, and short interruptions that could disrupt operations.

Rated at 2880 VA / 2700 W, this UPS delivers a pure sine wave output while on battery, with Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) correcting undervoltages and overvoltages without consuming battery capacity wherever possible. Built‑in surge protection and a multi‑function LCD panel provide real‑time load, battery, and status feedback.

The 2U rackmount form factor fits standard 19″ equipment racks and cabinets, making it suitable for IDF/MDF closets, branch data racks, and edge compute cabinets in environments with constrained vertical space. Its robust design embeds in existing power infrastructure without requiring extensive rack reconfiguration.

Management interfaces include a SmartConnect Ethernet port, USB, RS‑232, and a SmartSlot for optional cards, enabling remote monitoring and coordinated graceful shutdowns with APC software or integrated platforms. The unit interoperates within typical North American 120 V AC ecosystems and complements rack power distribution units (PDUs).

In practical deployment, this UPS supports workloads such as clustered firewalls, virtualization hosts, SANs, or core switches during utility interruptions, yielding several minutes of runtime at full load and extended runtime at reduced loads. This buffer allows orderly failover, alerting, or shutdown procedures to prevent data loss.

This device is not designed for central high‑density data center core power feeds or multi‑MW infrastructures; its capacity and runtime are optimized for smaller racks and enterprise branch deployments where space is limited and controlled shutdown windows are acceptable.
