Eaton 5PX Gen2 UPS
Power and Performance
The Eaton 5PX Gen2 UPS offers power ratings from 1000–3000 VA/W (unity power factor, VA=W), delivering 11% more power than competitors. Its line-interactive topology with AVR stabilizes voltage (150–294 V) for servers and networking equipment. Runtime is extended by ~25% on 1.5/2 kVA models (~10–12 min at 70% load) with up to 4 optional EBMs. Users praise its efficiency (>98%) but note limited runtime without EBMs. Ideal for small data centers and edge IT.
Connectivity and Protection
It includes 8–10 IEC C13/C19 outlets (model-dependent, 2 load segments) with surge protection (IEC 61643-11). The optional Gigabit Network Card (NETWORK-M2/M3) offers secure HTTPS/SNMP v1/v3 monitoring and dual cybersecurity certifications (UL 2900-1, IEC 62443-4-2). USB and RS232 ports enable local management via Eaton’s Intelligent Power Manager. Users value remote firmware updates but note the network card’s added cost. Ideal for secure IT environments.
Design and Features
Available in 2U/3U rack/tower formats (448–603 mm depth), it weighs 19.8–31 kg. The graphical LCD simplifies setup with a configuration wizard. Features include hot-swappable batteries (12V, 7–9 Ah), ABM technology (extends battery life ~50%), and quiet operation (~40 dB, fans off below 30% load). Users appreciate the compact design but note the weight for rack setups. Ideal for space-constrained IT closets.
