P80-2200 vs CyberPower PR2200RT2U
The Xtreme Power P80-2200 and CyberPower PR2200RT2U are 120V pure sine wave line-interactive 2U rack/tower UPS with AVR. The PR2200RT2U is unity power factor and rates higher real watts (2200 W vs 2000 W) in a shallower chassis; the P80-2200 is the TAA-compliant alternative that adds external-battery extended runtime, an optional maintenance bypass, and runs on a standard 20 A circuit.
What the P80-2200 brings
- TAA compliant for federal and regulated procurement (the standard PR2200RT2U is not TAA).
- Supports external battery packs (P90-BP72) for extended runtime — the PR2200RT2U is internal-battery only.
- Optional XBDM maintenance bypass for service without dropping the load (CyberPower: none).
- Runs on a standard 20 A 5-20P circuit (CyberPower needs a 30 A L5-30P twist-lock).
- Tower, wall, 2-post and 4-post mounting, up to 99% ECO efficiency, and a 3-year UPS & battery warranty.

| UPS topology | Line-interactive, AVR, sine wave | Line-interactive, AVR, sine wave | Equivalent protection |
| Input cord | 6 ft, NEMA 5-20P (20 A) | 10 ft, NEMA L5-30P (30 A twist-lock) | P80 runs on a standard 20 A circuit |
| Output receptacles | (8) NEMA 5-15/20R | (8) NEMA 5-20R | Comparable; P80 5-15/20R accepts both plug types |
| Dimensions (W×D×H) | 17.2 × 24.6 × 3.5 in (depth incl. bezel) | 17.1 × 16.2 × 3.4 in | CyberPower approx 8 in shallower |
| Weight | 61.7 lb | 59.8 lb | Comparable; CyberPower approx 2 lb lighter |
| Extended runtime | Yes — external P90-BP72 packs | No — internal battery only (PR-XL series required) | P80 adds runtime on the same unit |
| Maintenance bypass | Optional XBDM module | None | P80 serviceable without downtime |
| Communications | USB, RS-232, optional Web/SNMP | USB, Serial, optional RMCARD205 + built-in cloud | CyberPower adds built-in cloud + $400k CEG |
| Efficiency | Up to 99% ECO mode | GreenPower / Energy Star | Comparable high-efficiency modes |
| TAA compliance | Yes | No (standard model) | P80 TAA for federal / regulated |
| Warranty | 3-yr UPS & battery | 3-yr UPS & battery | Both 3-year |
Both are 2200-class line-interactive AVR pure sine UPS. The PR2200RT2U rates higher real watts (2200 W vs 2000 W, unity PF), is the shallower chassis (approx 16 vs 24.6 in), and is about 2 lb lighter. The P80-2200 leads on TAA compliance, extended runtime via external battery packs (the PR2200RT2U is internal-battery only), an optional maintenance bypass, and powering from a standard 20 A 5-20P circuit rather than a 30 A L5-30P twist-lock. Confirm CyberPower specifications against current CyberPower documentation.
Choosing between them
If you need maximum watts in the box and the shallowest chassis, the PR2200RT2U is strong. Choose the P80-2200 when you need TAA compliance, the ability to add external battery packs for extended runtime, a maintenance bypass, or want to power the unit from a standard 20 A circuit.
Choose the P80-2200 if you need
- TAA-compliant procurement at 2.2 kVA
- Extended runtime via external battery packs
- A maintenance bypass for in-place service
- Power from a standard 20 A 5-20P circuit
- Wall / 2-post branch and edge installations
The PR2200RT2U may fit if you need
- Maximum real watts in the box (2200 W)
- A much shallower 2U chassis (approx 16 in deep)
- Built-in cloud monitoring + $400k connected-equipment guarantee
