APC SMX3000HVT

Overview

The APC SMX3000HVT is an uninterruptible power supply designed to maintain continuous power for mission-critical equipment during outages or voltage fluctuations. Delivering 3000 VA and 2700 W of pure sine wave output, it ensures stable and clean power for servers, network switches, and other essential hardware. Its versatile chassis supports both tower and 4U rack configurations, with a short depth that fits well in shallow cabinets or crowded server rooms.

Equipped with multiple outlet types and an adjustable input voltage range, this UPS adapts to diverse power environments while providing clear status updates through an integrated LCD. Hot-swappable batteries and optional network management capabilities make it a practical choice for small data centers, branch offices, and retail locations where reliable power and low noise are important.

Performance and reliability

The SMX3000HVT is engineered to provide dependable power protection with a pure sine wave output that matches utility power quality. Its wide input voltage range accommodates unstable power sources, reducing the risk of equipment damage or downtime. Hot-swappable batteries and intelligent charging technology ensure continuous operation and extend battery life, minimizing maintenance interruptions.

With 645 joules of surge protection, the unit guards against damaging power spikes, while its quiet 55 dBA operation keeps noise levels low in sensitive environments. The robust warranty coverage further supports long-term reliability and peace of mind.

Ideal uses and environments

This UPS is well suited to small data centers, branch offices, retail locations, and other professional settings where maintaining uptime is critical. Its short depth and convertible form factor make it a strong choice for spaces with limited rack depth or where flexible installation options are needed. The low noise output also makes it appropriate for quiet office environments where distractions must be minimized.

Organizations that rely on servers, network switches, and mixed equipment setups will find this model meets their power protection needs while offering convenient management and maintenance features.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
