APC by Schneider Electric LIBCAT2W8X80 Rack Battery Cabinet
Overview
The APC by Schneider Electric LIBCAT2W8X80 is a dedicated rack-mount battery cabinet designed to extend the runtime of compatible APC Smart-UPS systems. This unit houses eight 80AH battery modules, providing significant additional power reserve for critical equipment during utility outages. It's engineered for deployment in standard 19-inch server racks within data centers, network closets, or other IT infrastructure environments where uninterrupted power is essential.
Compatibility
This battery cabinet is specifically designed for use with select APC Smart-UPS models that support external battery cabinets. It is compatible with the APC Smart-UPS 10kVA and 15kVA models, including the SMT10000RM5U, SMT1500RM3U, and SURT1500RM3U series. Always verify your UPS model's compatibility with external battery cabinets before purchase to ensure proper integration and expected runtime extension.
Installation Notes
Installation requires mounting the cabinet into a standard 19-inch rack using provided hardware. The eight 80AH battery modules must be installed within the cabinet. Connection to the UPS requires the specific APC communication and power cables (typically sold separately or included with the UPS). Ensure adequate ventilation around the rack and cabinet, as batteries generate heat during operation and charging. Torque specifications for battery terminal connections must be followed to prevent over-tightening or poor contact.
