Eaton 5SC1000

Overview

The Eaton 5SC1000 is an uninterruptible power supply designed to provide reliable backup power and voltage regulation for servers, storage arrays, and network equipment. With a capacity of 1000 volt-amps (700 watts) and pure sinewave output, it ensures sensitive electronics receive clean and stable power during outages or fluctuations. Its line interactive design actively corrects voltage dips and surges, reducing battery use and extending runtime when mains power fails.

Key features

• Pure sinewave output that protects sensitive devices by delivering clean and consistent power.
• Line interactive topology with buck and boost voltage regulation to handle brownouts and surges without switching to battery.
• Eight battery-backed 5-15R outlets to support multiple devices such as desktop servers, PoE switches, and NAS units simultaneously.
• Clear LCD front panel providing real-time information on input voltage, load level, and battery status, plus easy configuration of alarms and sensitivity.
• ABM charging technology that extends battery life by up to 50 percent through intelligent charge management.
• USB and RS-232 communication ports compatible with Eaton Intelligent Power Manager software for remote monitoring, scheduled shutdowns, and firmware updates.
• Flexible placement enabled by a six-foot input power cord, suitable for shelves, under desks, or small racks.
• Comprehensive three-year warranty covering both the UPS and battery, offering long-term peace of mind for business-critical environments.

Connectivity and compatibility

This UPS integrates seamlessly with networked environments through USB and RS-232 ports, allowing connection to Eaton Intelligent Power Manager software. This setup enables remote monitoring, automatic shutdowns during extended outages, and firmware updates to keep the system current. The eight 5-15R outlets accommodate standard plugs from a variety of IT equipment, making it a versatile choice for small to medium-sized server rooms and branch offices.

Performance and reliability

The line interactive design actively stabilizes voltage by correcting under- and over-voltage conditions before switching to battery power, which helps preserve battery life and maintain uptime. The pure sinewave output is critical for sensitive electronics that require clean power to avoid damage or data corruption. Eaton’s ABM charging method further enhances reliability by extending battery lifespan, reducing maintenance frequency and costs.

Ideal uses and environments

This UPS is well suited to small businesses, branch offices, and IT setups that demand consistent power protection for servers, storage devices, and networking hardware. It fits well in environments prone to frequent brownouts or power surges, providing enough runtime to save work, perform graceful shutdowns, or wait for backup generators. Its compact footprint and flexible cord length make it easy to install in tight spaces such as racks or under desks.

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.
