Panduit U01N11V SteadySine 1KVA 2U Rack UPS
Overview
The Panduit U01N11V is a 1KVA single-phase, 2U rack-mount uninterruptible power supply from Panduit's SteadySine™ UPS line, engineered for data centers, enterprise micro-data centers (MTDC), and edge deployments where clean, conditioned sine-wave power is non-negotiable. At 3.4 inches tall and 17.3 inches wide, the U01N11V occupies exactly 2U of rack space — important in dense edge cabinets where every rack unit is accounted for. This model targets environments that demand consistent uptime: top-of-rack protection for networking gear, edge compute nodes, and security infrastructure that cannot tolerate the stepped-approximation output of line-interactive alternatives.
Key Features
- SteadySine™ Pure Sine Wave Output: The SteadySine™ designation means the U01N11V delivers a true sine wave under battery — not a stepped approximation. Active PFC power supplies (standard in modern servers, NVRs, and managed switches) require a clean sine wave to operate correctly on battery; a modified sine wave can cause premature shutdowns, fan noise, or hardware damage. This matters most when the UPS is protecting mixed loads in an edge rack.
- 1KVA / 120V Single-Phase Rating: At 1KVA on a standard 120V circuit, the U01N11V fits single-phase branch circuits without requiring a dedicated PDU or stepped-down feed — straightforward to deploy in commercial server rooms, wiring closets, and edge enclosures without electrical infrastructure changes.
- 2U Rack Form Factor (3.4" H × 17.3" W): Standard 19-inch rack width at 2U height integrates directly into most commercial equipment racks. In dense micro-data centers and edge cabinets, a 2U footprint is a real constraint — specifying this over a tower conversion keeps the rack clean and maintains airflow paths.
- Targeted at Data Center, Edge, and Enterprise MTDC: Panduit positions the U01N11V explicitly for MTDC and edge use cases — environments where physical space, power density, and reliability converge. This is not a desktop or light-office unit; it's spec'd for infrastructure-grade deployments.
Integration & Compatibility
The U01N11V carries direct cross-reference equivalency to several widely-deployed rack UPS models, including the Eaton 9PX1000RTN-class, Liebert GXT5-1000LVRT2UXL, APC SRT1000RMXLA-NC, APC SU1000RTXL2UN, and the UDC9601S-RT ONE — confirming it is designed to drop into rack positions currently occupied by those platforms. If you are standardizing on Panduit physical infrastructure and need a direct swap for an aging APC SRT or Eaton 9PX 1KVA unit, the U01N11V is the verified replacement candidate in the Panduit UPS catalog.
For full rack power system design, pair the U01N11V with a Panduit rack PDU and a compatible equipment enclosure to complete an integrated power-protection stack. Review your UPS selection and sizing guide to confirm load calculations before committing to a 1KVA capacity for your specific rack load profile.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the output waveform of the Panduit U01N11V?
A: The U01N11V carries the SteadySine™ sub-brand designation, which indicates a pure sine wave output under battery operation — required for active PFC power supplies found in modern servers and networking equipment.
Q: What rack space does the U01N11V require?
A: The U01N11V is a 2U rack-mount unit measuring 3.4 inches (86.5mm) tall and 17.3 inches (440mm) wide, fitting standard 19-inch equipment racks.
Q: Which UPS models can the U01N11V replace?
A: Panduit lists the following cross-reference models: Eaton 9PX1000RTN, Liebert GXT5-1000LVRT2UXL, APC SRT1000RMXLA-NC, APC SU1000RTXL2UN, and the UDC9601S-RT ONE. Verify load and outlet compatibility before swapping.
Q: What applications is the U01N11V designed for?
A: Panduit specifies Data Center, Edge, and Enterprise Micro-Data Center (MTDC) deployments as the primary application targets for the U01N11V.
Q: Is the U01N11V a single-phase unit?
A: Yes. The U01N11V operates on a single-phase 120V supply — standard North American branch circuit voltage, no special electrical infrastructure required.
The Panduit U01N11V sits in the 1KVA sweet spot for edge rack protection — compact enough at 2U (3.4 inches) to fit a dense MTDC cabinet without displacing compute or switching gear, and the SteadySine™ designation matters more than the marketing makes it sound: if you are running active PFC power supplies on this UPS (and in 2026, most rack equipment does), a non-sine-wave output is a real reliability risk, not a theoretical one.
Technical Highlights:
- SteadySine™ Pure Sine Wave: True sine wave on battery protects active PFC loads — modern servers, managed switches, NVRs — that can malfunction or shut down unexpectedly on modified-sine output.
- 2U × 17.3" Rack Form Factor: At 440mm wide and 86.5mm tall, the U01N11V is a standard 19-inch 2U unit — no adapter brackets, no clearance surprises, direct fit into commercial equipment racks.
- Cross-References to APC SRT1000RMXLA-NC and Eaton 9PX1000RTN: Panduit provides verified cross-references, which means this is a confirmed form-factor and capacity equivalent for integrators migrating off aging APC SRT or Eaton 9PX 1KVA installs.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm your total rack load is within the 1KVA capacity before deployment — the U01N11V is appropriate for lightweight edge nodes, networking gear, and access control infrastructure, not for high-density compute clusters that approach or exceed 1KVA on their own.
- The evidence does not confirm runtime curves, battery replacement intervals, or specific outlet configuration — request the full datasheet from Panduit before finalizing a design that depends on guaranteed runtime at a specific load percentage.
Best fit: an enterprise edge cabinet or MTDC pod where you are standardizing on Panduit physical infrastructure and need a verified 1KVA sine-wave UPS that drops into the same 2U slot as an outgoing APC SRT or Eaton 9PX without additional rack modifications.
