Emerson Network Power Introduces the Liebert GXT2 500 UPS, Extending True Online UPS Protection Down to 500VA



COLUMBUS, Ohio, [March 8, 2005 - Emerson Network Power today introduced the Liebert GXT2-500 UPS, one of the smallest rated UPSs in the industry to use true online technology. The Liebert GXT2-500 extends the GXT family of online UPS down to 500VA and is designed for applications with low power requirements but high criticality, such as gateway routers, firewall or VPN concentrators in IP telephony applications.

Online UPSs, also known as double conversion systems, convert incoming AC power to DC and then back to AC within the UPS, creating a clean, consistent waveform while completely isolating sensitive electronics from incoming power source disturbances. This technology is in widespread use in data centers and computer rooms and is increasingly being deployed in network closets. With the introduction of the Liebert GXT2-500, the GXT family of online UPS now provides the widest range of power protection ranging from 500VA to 10,000VA.

"The growth of IP telephony is increasing the demand for power quality and reliability in network closets," said Rich Zajkowski, Liebert product manager. "We want to make sure our customers have mission-critical power protection everywhere they have mission-critical systems. That is driving the development of smaller UPS systems that utilize true online technology, like the new Liebert GXT2-500."

The GXT2-500 UPS offers four 5-15 R output receptacles and comes in a flexible 2U rack-mount / tower configuration. It features 28 minutes of battery runtime at full load, which can be expanded by adding battery cabinets that increase runtime by more than one hour per cabinet.

Pricing for the Liebert GXT2-500R120 UPS starts at $460.
