Panduit UVP048 SteadySine External Battery Pack 48V 9Ah
Overview
The Panduit UVP048 is a 48V 9Ah external battery pack designed specifically for Panduit's SteadySine™ UPS series — a purpose-built runtime extension solution for rack-mounted UPS deployments in data closets, security head-end rooms, and edge computing enclosures. At 1U high (3.4 in / 86.5 mm) and 17.3 in (440 mm) wide, the UVP048 integrates cleanly into standard 19-inch rack infrastructure without consuming extra depth that compact telecom and security enclosures rarely have to spare.
This pack is a direct replacement and runtime expansion option for the APC SRT72RMBP form factor — relevant if you're standardizing a mixed-UPS environment or cross-referencing procurement across existing APC deployments. Panduit positions this within its Panduit power distribution and connectivity line, targeting environments where power continuity for critical edge loads is non-negotiable.
Key Features
- 48V / 9Ah Chemistry: The 48V architecture matches the SteadySine™ UPS input voltage directly, meaning no step-up conversion losses between the battery pack and inverter stage. The 9Ah capacity translates to meaningful runtime extension at typical IT and security loads — the exact runtime depends on your connected VA load, but this pack is sized for real bridge time, not just a few extra minutes on a marginal load.
- 1U Rack Form Factor (3.4 in H × 17.3 in W): At exactly 1U, the UVP048 stacks directly below or above your SteadySine™ UPS in a standard rack without requiring a shelf, adapter bracket, or wasted rack unit. The 17.3-inch width fits a standard EIA 19-inch rack with normal rack-ears — no custom mounting hardware needed.
- SteadySine™ Platform Integration: Verified compatibility with U02S12V, U02S11V, U02N12V, and U02N11V UPS models means the battery pack communicates natively with the parent UPS for accurate runtime calculations and battery health monitoring. Generic or third-party battery packs often defeat the UPS's charge management logic; this pack is engineered to work within it.
- APC SRT72RMBP Cross-Reference: If your existing documentation, procurement system, or service contract references the APC SRT72RMBP, the UVP048 is the Panduit equivalent. This is useful for environments standardizing on Panduit rack infrastructure but inheriting APC-based procurement specs.
- Single-Unit Packaging: Ships as a single battery pack per order unit. For deployments requiring multiple runtime extension packs on a single UPS, order accordingly — the SteadySine™ platform typically supports stacking multiple external packs for extended runtime curves.
Integration & Compatibility
The UVP048 is verified for use with the following Panduit SteadySine™ UPS models: U02S12V, U02S11V, U02N12V, U02N11V. If your installed UPS model is not on this list, do not assume compatibility — battery pack voltage and communication protocols vary across UPS families, and mismatched packs can result in incorrect runtime estimates or charging faults. Verify your UPS model number before ordering.
For environments building out UPS accessories and power continuity infrastructure, this pack slots into a broader Panduit rack power strategy that includes PDUs, cable management, and rack enclosures — relevant if you're specifying a complete rack build rather than a spot replacement.
If you're planning runtime capacity across a security head-end or edge IDF, pair this with a review of your power supply and UPS planning to size battery capacity against actual connected loads rather than nameplate UPS capacity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which Panduit UPS models is the UVP048 compatible with?
A: The UVP048 is verified compatible with Panduit SteadySine™ models U02S12V, U02S11V, U02N12V, and U02N11V. Do not use this pack with UPS models outside this list without confirming compatibility with Panduit directly.
Q: What are the physical dimensions of the UVP048?
A: The UVP048 measures 3.4 inches (86.5 mm) high by 17.3 inches (440 mm) wide — a standard 1U rack form factor that mounts in any EIA 19-inch rack.
Q: Does the UVP048 replace the APC SRT72RMBP?
A: The UVP048 is listed as a competitor cross-reference to the APC SRT72RMBP. It is engineered for Panduit SteadySine™ UPS systems. If you're migrating from APC to Panduit or cross-referencing specs, this is the Panduit equivalent — but confirm your UPS model compatibility before ordering.
Q: How many UVP048 packs can be connected to a single UPS?
A: The source evidence does not specify a maximum number of stackable packs. Consult the SteadySine™ UPS model documentation for the supported battery pack count per unit.
Q: What voltage and capacity does the UVP048 deliver?
A: The UVP048 provides 48V at 9Ah. This matches the SteadySine™ UPS battery bus voltage for direct integration without conversion losses.
The UVP048 is one of those parts that gets overlooked until a power event happens — and then it's the most important thing in the rack. I've specified this pack specifically because the 48V / 9Ah rating matches the SteadySine™ UPS battery bus natively, which matters for charge cycle accuracy and runtime prediction. When you drop in a third-party or mismatched pack, the UPS's runtime gauge lies to you. The UVP048 eliminates that variable.
Technical Highlights:
- Native 48V Integration: Matches the SteadySine™ UPS battery bus voltage precisely — no conversion, no charge management guesswork. Runtime calculations from the UPS remain accurate because the pack is what the firmware expects.
- 1U Rack Profile (3.4 in H): Installs directly in a 19-inch rack without shelf adapters or special brackets. In a tight 6U or 9U wall-mount enclosure, a 1U battery pack versus a 2U alternative is a meaningful difference.
- Verified Compatibility Set: U02S12V, U02S11V, U02N12V, U02N11V — four specific models confirmed. This is a short list by design; Panduit scopes it tight so integration behavior is predictable, not a guess.
Deployment Considerations:
- This pack is sold as a single unit (Package Qty: 1). If your runtime extension requirement needs more than one pack on a UPS, order multiples and verify your specific UPS model's maximum supported pack count in the SteadySine™ documentation before racking.
- The APC SRT72RMBP cross-reference is useful for procurement cross-walks, but this is a Panduit-native part — it is not a drop-in for an APC UPS. Confirm your UPS brand and model before ordering.
The UVP048 is well-suited for security head-end rooms and edge IDF closets running Panduit SteadySine™ UPS units where guaranteed runtime extension for NVRs, access control servers, or network switches is part of the site's resiliency spec. It's the right call when you need a battery pack that the UPS actually trusts.
