APC by Schneider Electric ISX76990-008 CXTEC Configuration Power Conditioning Unit
Overview
The APC by Schneider Electric ISX76990-008 is a CXTEC-configured power unit rated at up to 10 kVA, engineered for installations where stable, conditioned 200–240V power is non-negotiable. Whether you're protecting a rack of network video recorders, a dense PoE switch stack, or a mixed surveillance head-end, this unit's input flexibility (100–240V) means it adapts to facility power without rewiring — then outputs a clean, regulated 200–240V to connected equipment. The ISX76990-008 ships in a 19-inch rack form factor at 5U height, so it slots into standard equipment racks without consuming excessive vertical space.
Key Features
- Up to 10 kVA Power Capacity: At 10 kVA, this unit handles substantial mixed loads — a full-bay of recording servers, managed switches, and access control hardware simultaneously. Sizing at 10 kVA gives you headroom to expand without immediately hitting capacity limits during a facility build-out.
- Wide-Range Input Voltage (100–240V): Accepting input from 100V to 240V makes the ISX76990-008 viable in international deployments and facilities with variable utility power. You're not locked into a single voltage standard — useful for retrofitting into existing infrastructure or multi-site standardization.
- Regulated 200–240V Output: The output is stabilized at 200–240V, which matters for sensitive equipment like NVRs and encoders that can behave unpredictably on dirty or sagging utility power. Consistent voltage protects hardware investment and reduces unexplained reboots or brownout-induced failures.
- 6 Output Outlets: Six outlets support individual circuit feeds to multiple rack components. In a typical surveillance power layout, you'd allocate outlets to the NVR, primary switch, secondary switch, access control panel, monitor, and a spare — covering a complete head-end without a secondary power distribution unit.
- 19 x 24 x 5-Inch Rack Profile: Standard 19-inch EIA rack width and 5U height means this unit integrates into any standard equipment cabinet without custom mounting. The 24-inch depth fits most mid-depth and full-depth enclosures without hanging over the rear rail.
- 50 lb Unit Weight: At 50 lbs, this requires two-person installation per standard safety practice. Plan your rack weight budget accordingly — bottom-of-rack placement is the correct call here for stability and cable management.
- 3-Year Manufacturer Warranty: APC's 3-year manufacturer warranty on the ISX76990-008 (often searched as ISX76990 008) reduces lifecycle cost risk on a unit that sits at the heart of your power infrastructure. Replacement or repair coverage over three years aligns with most surveillance system refresh cycles.
Integration and Compatibility
The ISX76990-008's wide input voltage tolerance and standard 200–240V output make it compatible with virtually all commercial rack-mounted surveillance and networking equipment rated for that output range. Its 19-inch rack form factor integrates directly into standard two-post or four-post equipment racks. The CXTEC configuration designation indicates this unit has been configured specifically for a defined deployment profile — verify your load requirements and outlet assignments against your site's specific rack layout before commissioning. For APC by Schneider Electric power infrastructure planning or to confirm compatibility with your specific NVR, switch, or server load, consult the equipment's power draw specifications against the 10 kVA capacity ceiling. Review the camera and system selection guide for guidance on total system power budgeting across multi-camera deployments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the maximum power capacity of the ISX76990-008?
A: The ISX76990-008 supports up to 10 kVA, making it suitable for high-density rack deployments including NVRs, managed switches, and access control hardware running simultaneously.
Q: What output voltage does the ISX76990-008 deliver?
A: The unit outputs 200–240V. Ensure all connected equipment is rated for this voltage range before commissioning.
Q: What input voltage range does the ISX76990-008 accept?
A: It accepts 100–240V input, providing flexibility for diverse facility power environments and international deployments.
Q: How many outlets does the ISX76990-008 provide?
A: Six output outlets are available, sufficient to feed individual circuits to an NVR, primary and secondary switches, access control panel, monitor, and a spare connection in a standard surveillance head-end rack.
Q: What is the warranty on the ISX76990-008?
A: APC provides a 3-year manufacturer warranty on the ISX76990-008.
Q: Does the ISX76990-008 fit in a standard 19-inch equipment rack?
A: Yes. The unit measures 19 x 24 x 5 inches and occupies 5U of vertical rack space in any standard EIA 19-inch enclosure.
When a surveillance or network head-end rack needs a single power unit that can handle everything from NVRs to managed switches without sweating the facility input voltage, the ISX76990-008's 100–240V wide-range input combined with its 10 kVA ceiling is genuinely useful — not just a spec-sheet checkbox. I've seen integrators burn time on power infrastructure that couldn't flex to site conditions; this unit sidesteps that problem from the start.
Technical Highlights:
- 10 kVA Capacity: Enough headroom to run a full surveillance head-end — NVR, two managed PoE switches, access control panel, monitor — with capacity left for expansion without a second power unit.
- 200–240V Regulated Output: Sensitive recording hardware and network gear perform more reliably on conditioned, stable voltage. Brownout-induced NVR reboots and switch lock-ups are common on raw utility power; regulated output eliminates that failure class.
- 6 Outlets, 5U / 19-inch Profile: Six discrete outlet positions let you segment power feeds per device type, and the 19 x 24 x 5-inch form factor slots into any standard rack without adapter plates or custom mounting.
Deployment Considerations:
- At 50 lbs, bottom-of-rack placement is the correct installation position for rack stability — plan your cable routing from the bottom up before the unit goes in, not after.
- The CXTEC configuration designation on the ISX76990-008 means this unit was built to a specific configuration profile; confirm your outlet and load requirements match that profile before ordering to avoid a mismatch at commissioning.
This unit is a strong fit for enterprise surveillance head-end racks — particularly multi-camera deployments with 16+ channels of NVR, a dense PoE switch tier, and access control hardware all sharing the same rack enclosure — where a single, high-capacity, voltage-flexible power unit simplifies the infrastructure design and reduces the number of power distribution components to manage.
