New Rack Models Enhance Flexibility of Eaton’s 5SC UPS Range
Eaton has extended its range of line-interactive UPSs to help IT managers find the best option for securing reliable power protection for small business servers. The 5SC range now features Rack and Rack/Tower (RT) models, in addition to Tower models, and covers power ratings of 500VA to 3kVA. The flexible range provides compact, reliable, and affordable protection to ensure safe operation in a wide range of IT and industrial applications such as servers, networking and storage devices, and banking machines.
“In installations with space constraints, it can be difficult to fit in a UPS to provide reliable power protection. To address this, Eaton has developed the 5SC range to be compatible with the even smallest enclosures: the rack 1000/1500models can fit into short enclosures of just 500mm. The compact Tower models are also a good fit for integrated solutions, such as ticketing machines, kiosks, and ATMs, where access to reliable power is crucial to enable the safe termination of the on-going transaction. Therefore, this range implements CE and CTUV-US certifications to facilitate global deployment by MOEM and integrators,” says Stephane Lacroix, Product Manager, Eaton.
The 5SC range has been designed to enable efficient management and monitoring: all models feature an LCD interface, which works as a personal dashboard, providing valuable information about the real-time status of the UPS, the load and battery level, and various other adjustable parameters. The sinewave output ensures compatibility with today’s most sensitive IT equipment and the adjustable input waveform sensitivity helps adapt the UPS to fit specific environments.
All models feature USB and serial ports to enable automatic integration with all major operating systems. In addition, the Rack and RT models (where the UPS can be either rack-mounted or used as a standalone device) also feature an optional slot to accommodate network management or Serial/Relay card for improved communication. This slot implementation makes rack and RT models compatible with all Eaton network management solutions as well as leading virtual environments of VMware, RedHat, Citrix, and HyperV.
To minimize cost and optimize the product life span, the 5SC series features Eaton’s patented ABM technology, which prolongs battery life by up to 50 percent, only recharging the battery when necessary.
