CyberPower OL2200RTXL2U Smart App Online UPS
The CyberPower OL2200RTXL2U delivers 2200 VA / 1800 W of clean, continuous power through double-conversion topology designed for servers, network infrastructure, and mission-critical equipment that cannot tolerate even millisecond-scale interruptions. Unlike standby or line-interactive designs that switch to battery during outages, this online UPS continuously regenerates AC power from the DC bus, providing zero transfer time and complete isolation from utility anomalies including voltage sags, surges, harmonics, and frequency drift. The 2U rack/tower form factor fits standard 19-inch racks while maintaining the flexibility for tower deployment, and the hot-swappable battery design allows mid-operation replacement without powering down connected loads.

Online UPS architecture is the gold standard for sensitive loads that demand perfect power quality. The OL2200RTXL2U continuously converts incoming AC to DC, then back to precisely regulated AC through a pure sine wave inverter. This means your equipment always runs on clean, conditioned power regardless of utility quality—voltage regulation stays within ±2%, frequency remains locked at 60 Hz, and harmonic distortion is eliminated. When utility power fails, the transition is instantaneous and seamless because the inverter is already powering the load; there's no relay to close or transfer switch to engage. This zero-break topology is essential for storage arrays, blade servers, VoIP systems, and any application where even a single cycle of interruption could corrupt data or drop critical sessions.
The six 12V/9Ah sealed lead-acid batteries are arranged in a hot-swappable configuration accessible from the front panel. When battery replacement time arrives (typically 3-5 years depending on discharge cycles and ambient temperature), you can slide out the old cartridge and insert a new one without shutting down the UPS or interrupting power to connected equipment. For applications requiring extended runtime beyond the standard 8 minutes at full load, the OL2200RTXL2U supports up to 10 external battery modules, scaling backup duration to match your specific RTO requirements. The intelligent battery management system monitors cell health, tests batteries automatically, and supports fast charging that brings depleted cells from 0-90% in four hours, minimizing vulnerability windows after extended outages.
The multifunction LCD panel provides at-a-glance status including input voltage, output voltage, current load percentage, estimated runtime remaining, battery charge level, and any active fault or warning conditions. Configuration options accessible through the panel include output voltage selection (100/110/115/120/125 VAC), alarm settings, ECO mode enablement, and battery test initiation. For remote monitoring and automated shutdown, dual interfaces—USB (HID-compliant) and RS-232 serial—connect to CyberPower's PowerPanel Business software, which supports SNMP traps, email alerts, scheduled shutdowns, and safe OS shutdown sequencing across Windows, Linux, and macOS servers. The optional RMCARD205 network management card adds web-based configuration, SNMP v1/v3 monitoring, and integration with enterprise management platforms including VMware vCenter, Microsoft SCCM, and HP OpenView.
The 2U chassis measures 17 inches deep and includes adjustable mounting brackets for front or recessed installation in standard 19-inch racks. The tower configuration supports vertical placement on floors or shelves when rack space is unavailable. The front panel provides status LEDs, outlet control, and battery access, while rear connectivity includes the seven output receptacles (six 5-20R plus one twist-lock L5-20R), a NEMA 5-20P input plug supporting 20-amp circuits, communication ports, and the EPO terminal block for integration with datacenter emergency shutdown systems. Operating temperature range spans 32-104°F, accommodating most conditioned environments, though battery life extends when ambient temperatures stay below 77°F.
Generator compatibility is validated across a wide input range—60-150 VAC depending on load level—and the UPS tolerates frequency drift from 40-70 Hz, making it suitable for backup generator installations where voltage and frequency stability may not match utility-grade precision. ECO mode offers an efficiency boost to 95% by engaging the bypass circuit during stable utility conditions, reducing heat output and energy costs in environments where power quality is generally reliable but backup protection remains necessary. When input conditions degrade or fall outside preset thresholds, the UPS automatically reverts to double-conversion mode within 4 milliseconds, maintaining continuous protection.
The CyberPower OL2200RTXL2U is backed by a three-year limited warranty and a $400,000 connected equipment guarantee covering replacement or repair of connected devices damaged by power surges while properly connected to the UPS. The unit ships with PowerPanel Business software, USB and serial cables, rack mounting hardware, and a user manual. This model meets UL1778, CSA C22.2 No.107.3, FCC Part 15 Class A, and RoHS compliance standards, ensuring it satisfies safety and emissions requirements for commercial installations in the United States and Canada.
