Minuteman Encompass EC2000RT2U 2000VA Tower/Rack Mountable UPS

The Minuteman Encompass EC2000RT2U is a true online UPS designed to deliver robust, scalable, and reliable power protection for mission-critical equipment. With a 2000 VA rating and a versatile tower or 2U rack-mount form factor, it seamlessly fits data centers, server rooms, and remote office deployments. By regenerating the incoming AC signal through double-conversion technology, this unit acts as an impenetrable electrical firewall, delivering clean, regulated power to protect servers, networking gear, storage devices, and other vital electronics from outages, surges, and power quality issues. The Encompass Series is built for dependable performance in demanding environments, offering proactive protection that helps maintain uptime, preserve data integrity, and minimize the risk of unexpected downtime.

• Online double-conversion protection: The EC2000RT2U continuously converts incoming AC to DC and back to AC, removing nearly all power disturbances before they reach connected equipment. This results in a pristine sinewave output and a stable electrical environment that minimizes data loss and equipment wear during outages or fluctuations.
• 2000 VA capacity for critical systems: Designed to support essential servers, network devices, storage, and virtualization components, the EC2000RT2U provides ample headroom to handle startup surges and run essential gear through maintenance windows and short outages with time to respond gracefully.
• Tower and 2U rack-mountable versatility: A flexible installation option lets you deploy the UPS in a traditional floor-standing setup or mount it in a standard 19-inch rack. This adaptability simplifies integration into existing infrastructures, preserves space, and maintains proper airflow for cooling.
• Comprehensive protection for mission-critical equipment: Beyond surge suppression, the EC2000RT2U defends against voltage sags, swells, and transient events, helping to safeguard data integrity, prevent unexpected shutdowns, and extend the lifespan of connected devices across IT, telecom, and networking environments.
• Reliability you can trust with Encompass Series: Built to endure demanding workloads, this UPS offers robust monitoring capabilities, clear indicators, and dependable performance that IT teams rely on for consistent power protection and predictable maintenance planning.
