APC Smart-UPS Line Interactive 3kVA Rackmount 2U 120V 6 NEMA 5-15R+2 NEMA 5-20R outlets Network Card AVR LCD - TAA (SMT3000RM2UNCUS)

The APC SMT3000RM2UNCUS is a 3kVA, 2700W line-interactive 2U rackmount UPS for rack-based IT equipment that needs 120V backup power and automatic voltage regulation, with six NEMA 5-15R and two NEMA 5-20R outlets.

Recommended For

• IT teams protecting a server or networking rack that needs 120V battery backup, automatic voltage regulation, and a 2U rack-mounted UPS.
• Small-business and branch-office admins backing up rack servers, NAS units, switches, or other critical IT equipment, with network management available for remote monitoring.
• Home-lab operators with a dedicated rack and compatible 30A power who want to keep multiple lab devices powered through brief outages and voltage fluctuations.
• Operators who need a rack UPS for short outage coverage and orderly equipment shutdown rather than hours of battery operation; runtime decreases as the connected load increases.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• In a small server rack, an IT admin uses it to keep servers and storage running through brief outages and allow a controlled shutdown if power stays off; the available shutdown window depends on the connected load.
• In a network closet, a team connects routers and switches so brief power interruptions are less likely to immediately take the local network offline; the network card also supports remote UPS monitoring and management.
• At a retail point-of-sale station, a business uses battery backup for checkout equipment during short outages, helping staff avoid an abrupt interruption while power is restored or systems are shut down.
• In a small business using VoIP phones, a team can put the supporting network equipment and compatible phone-system components on backup power to help maintain calling through a brief outage; runtime varies with the total load.
• Where utility voltage fluctuates, a business can use the UPS to help correct voltage variations without relying on battery power for every fluctuation, while keeping connected rack equipment supplied with conditioned power.
