P80-1100 vs Eaton 5PX1000RTG2
The Xtreme Power P80-1100 and Eaton 5PX1000RTG2 are 120V pure sine wave line-interactive 2U rack/tower UPS with AVR and eight 5-15R outlets, at comparable real watts (990 W vs 1000 W). The P80-1100 is the lighter, attractively priced TAA-compliant alternative for branch, edge, and IT-closet backup.
Where the P80-1100 fits
- Attractively priced — typically well below the premium 5PX G2 at a comparable spec.
- Much lighter: 30.5 lb vs 44.5 lb (about 14 lb / 31% less) for easier handling and rack loading.
- Shorter depth: 16.1 in vs 17.6 in for compact closets and short-depth racks.
- TAA compliant for federal and regulated procurement.
- Optional XBDM maintenance bypass; up to 99% ECO efficiency and a 3-year UPS & battery warranty.

Both are 1000-class 120V line-interactive AVR pure sine UPS with eight 5-15R outlets and comparable real watts (990 vs 1000 W). Both are TAA-compliant and offer an optional maintenance bypass. The 5PX1000RTG2 adds external-battery runtime (up to four EBMs) and cybersecure NETWORK-M2/M3 management; the P80-1100 is internal-battery only at this size. The P80-1100 is markedly lighter (30.5 vs 44.5 lb), shallower, and attractively priced — a strong value where the premium 5PX G2 feature set is not required. If you need external battery packs at this capacity, step up to the P80-1500. Confirm Eaton specifications against current Eaton documentation.
Choosing between them
Choose the P80-1100 for a lighter, shallower, attractively priced TAA unit for branch and IT-closet backup. Choose the 5PX1000RTG2 if you need external-battery extended runtime at this size or cybersecure network management.
Choose the P80-1100 if you need
- A lighter, shallower 2U unit
- Competitive acquisition cost vs the premium 5PX G2
- TAA-compliant branch / edge backup
- Internal-battery runtime is sufficient
The 5PX1000RTG2 may fit if you need
- Extended runtime via EBMs at this size
- Cybersecure NETWORK-M2/M3 management + outlet metering
- Unity power factor / Energy Star 2.0
