Description
APC Smart-UPS SMT3000R2X145 — High-Capacity 2U Rackmount Power Protection with Extended Cord
The SMT3000R2X145 is a 3000VA / 2700W line-interactive rackmount UPS that ships with a 12-foot input cord, giving data center managers added flexibility when positioning equipment relative to PDUs or wall circuits. Unlike basic standby UPS units, this Smart-UPS delivers pure sine wave output at all times, making it suitable for active PFC power supplies found in modern servers, blade chassis, and storage systems. The SmartSlot expansion bay allows the addition of an optional network management card without voiding the warranty or interrupting operation.
Key Features
- Pure Sine Wave Output: Produces clean, utility-grade sine wave power that active PFC server power supplies require — preventing compatibility issues and premature hardware failures that stepped approximation waveforms can cause.
- Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR): Corrects under-voltages and over-voltages without switching to battery, extending battery life and shielding sensitive loads from the chronic low-level voltage fluctuations common in commercial and industrial facilities.
- SmartSlot Expansion Bay: Accepts APC AP9640 or AP9641 network management cards for remote SNMP monitoring, automated shutdown scripting, and integration with EcoStruxure IT infrastructure management platforms.
- LCD Status Display: Front-panel LCD shows load percentage, estimated runtime, input/output voltage, and battery health — giving on-site technicians immediate system status without logging into a management interface.
- User-Replaceable Battery: Hot-swap battery replacement keeps the UPS in place during maintenance cycles, eliminating service windows and reducing downtime for IT and facilities teams.
- 8-Outlet Receptacle Bank: Six NEMA 5-15R plus two NEMA 5-20R outlets accommodate a mix of standard and higher-draw rack devices on a single UPS.
- 12-Foot Input Cord: Extended power cord provides installation flexibility for racks positioned away from floor PDUs or wall receptacles — a practical advantage in dense data center rows.

Ideal Applications and Industries
At 3000VA / 2700W, this unit is sized for rack environments running multiple servers, network switches, and attached storage simultaneously. The extended input cord makes it a practical fit for facilities where rack positioning and circuit access are not perfectly aligned.
- Data Centers and Server Rooms: Protects dual-socket servers, hyperconverged infrastructure nodes, and SAN/NAS arrays requiring sustained 2700W capacity.
- Healthcare and Medical Facilities: Supports clinical workstations, PACS imaging servers, and nurse call systems where NFPA 99 guidelines mandate reliable alternate power sourcing.
- Government and TAA-Compliant Deployments: TAA-compliant variants are available in the SMT3000 family; contact Questyme to confirm compliance requirements for your procurement vehicle.
- Network Closets and Branch Offices: Delivers full 3kVA capacity for consolidating UPS coverage of switches, routers, and VoIP gateways in a single 2U footprint.
- Financial Services and Banking: Maintains uptime for trading workstations, core banking servers, and ATM back-office infrastructure during utility disturbances.
- Manufacturing and Industrial Facilities: Protects SCADA workstations, industrial PCs, and process control servers in environments with unstable incoming power quality.
Not Sure Which SMT Model Is Right for Your Environment?
Questyme's power specialists work with IT teams, facilities managers, and procurement officers to identify the right UPS for specific load profiles, runtime requirements, and rack configurations. Whether you need a single unit for a network closet or a fleet of UPS systems for a multi-site deployment, our team calculates load requirements, runtime charts, and total cost of ownership before you commit to a purchase. Contact Questyme to speak with a power expert — not a sales representative.
