Vertiv ITA2-10KMBCSL1 10kVA/5kW UPS with IEC 60309 Input

Overview

The Vertiv ITA2-10KMBCSL1 is a 10kVA/5kW uninterruptible power supply built for data centers, server rooms, and critical infrastructure environments where a single IEC 60309-60 input connection is the standard on the floor. With 10kVA of apparent power and a 5kW real power rating, this unit handles the loads that smaller rack UPS systems can't reach — think mid-density server racks, network closets running edge compute, or surveillance recording infrastructure where a power event means lost footage and audit gaps. If you're speccing UPS and power management for a project with IEC 60309 panel connections already in place, the ITA2-10KMBCSL1 is built to terminate directly to that standard without an adapter stack.

Key Features

• 10kVA / 5kW Capacity: At a 0.5 power factor, this unit is rated for real-world mixed IT loads — servers, switches, and storage running concurrently. The 5kW output ceiling means you can fully load a high-density 2U server and a PoE switch stack without exceeding the UPS's working envelope. Size the load at 80% or below for thermal headroom on long-duration runtime.
• IEC 60309-60 Single Input: The IEC 60309-60 connector is an international industrial standard — common in European data halls, co-location environments, and any facility built to IEC rather than NEMA wiring conventions. A single input connection simplifies the install: one source feed, one UPS, one conditioned output path. No multi-input balancing required.
• Single Input Port: One input port means this unit expects a single upstream feed. For deployments requiring dual-corded redundancy (A+B feed architecture), this is a single-path device — plan accordingly at the PDU or panel level if your SLA requires concurrent maintainability or feed fault tolerance.
• Commercial-Grade Power Protection: As part of Vertiv's ITA2 line, this UPS delivers the voltage regulation, bypass, and battery management features expected in commercial and light industrial environments — protecting downstream equipment from sags, surges, and outright outages without requiring a generator-class solution.
• Vertiv ITA2 Platform Integration: The ITA2 series is designed for standardized deployment across multi-rack and multi-site environments. If your organization already runs Vertiv power and cooling infrastructure, this unit integrates into that management ecosystem without introducing a new vendor stack.

Integration and Compatibility

The ITA2-10KMBCSL1 is appropriate for facilities already wired to IEC 60309-60 panel standards. Integrators deploying this unit should confirm downstream outlet configuration matches the connected load — UPS output receptacle types are not specified in available evidence and should be confirmed with the Vertiv configuration team for the specific install. This UPS is well-suited to power network switching infrastructure, NVR recording stacks, and edge compute nodes where runtime and conditioning matter. For large camera deployments requiring centralized PoE power protection, pairing this unit upstream of a PoE switch or midspan is a common and validated architecture. Buyers speccing this unit into a rack should also confirm rack depth and rail kit compatibility — the ITA2 line is rack-optimized but physical rail specifications should be verified against the target enclosure. Pre-sales engineering support is available for project-level configuration questions before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the real power output of the ITA2-10KMBCSL1?

A: The ITA2-10KMBCSL1 delivers 5kW of real power (watts) with a 10kVA apparent power rating, reflecting a 0.5 power factor. Size your connected load at or below 4kW (80% of rated watts) for thermal and runtime headroom.

Q: What input connector does the ITA2-10KMBCSL1 require?

A: This unit requires an IEC 60309-60 input connection. This is an international industrial-standard plug common in co-location facilities and European data centers. Confirm your panel or PDU upstream has IEC 60309-60 receptacles before ordering.

Q: Does the ITA2-10KMBCSL1 support dual input feeds for A+B redundancy?

A: No. The ITA2-10KMBCSL1 has a single input port. It does not support dual-corded A+B feed architectures. For deployments requiring concurrent maintainability or feed fault tolerance, plan redundancy at the upstream panel or PDU level, or specify a dual-input UPS model.

Q: Is the ITA2-10KMBCSL1 suitable for a surveillance or NVR recording environment?

A: Yes. At 10kVA/5kW, this unit has sufficient capacity to protect a dense NVR recording stack, associated network switches, and ancillary equipment in a single rack. It provides voltage conditioning and battery backup to prevent recording gaps during power events — a common requirement in evidence-grade surveillance installations.

Q: How many input ports does the ITA2-10KMBCSL1 have?

A: One. The ITA2-10KMBCSL1 has a single input port accepting one upstream IEC 60309-60 feed.

Ted Perry

The ITA2-10KMBCSL1 is a unit I'd point integrators toward when they're deploying into facilities already wired for IEC 60309 — the single IEC 60309-60 input means the feed terminates cleanly without adapter hardware, which matters in co-lo environments where every cable routing decision gets scrutinized. At 10kVA/5kW, it sits above the typical rackmount UPS tier without crossing into the cost and complexity of a three-phase unit — that's a useful gap to fill for mid-density rack builds.

Technical Highlights:

• 10kVA / 5kW Rating: The 0.5 power factor means real-world load capacity is 5kW — enough to cover a populated 2U server plus a managed PoE switch and associated recording storage without crowding the UPS ceiling.
• IEC 60309-60 Single Input: Eliminates plug adapter stacks in facilities wired to IEC industrial standards. One cable, one connection, no intermediate conversion hardware adding failure points.
• Single Input Port: This is a single-feed device. On A+B-redundant builds, plan the second path upstream — at the panel or PDU — rather than expecting the UPS itself to handle dual feeds.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm output receptacle configuration with Vertiv before finalizing the BOM — the input spec is clearly IEC 60309-60, but downstream outlet types depend on the specific configuration and should be verified against your connected equipment.
• At a 0.5 power factor, buyers accustomed to higher-PF UPS specs should not expect to load this unit to the full 10kVA in watts — the 5kW real power ceiling is the operative figure for load planning.

This unit is the right call for a co-location deployment or an on-premise data closet where IEC 60309 feeds are already present and the load profile sits in the 3–4.5kW range — common in surveillance head-end rooms running NVR stacks, managed switching, and associated storage under a single conditioned power path.
