2200VA Line-Interactive UPS Comparison for IT and Network Deployments
The Xtreme Power P80-2200 and the Tripp Lite SMART2200RMXL2U from Tripp Lite are line-interactive UPS systems designed to protect servers, network equipment, and critical IT loads in rack, tower, or wall-mount installations.
Both systems feature automatic voltage regulation (AVR), sinewave output, and hot-swappable batteries. Key differences appear in usable watt capacity, extended-runtime capability, derating behavior, software delivery, and warranty coverage.
For IT and network environments where usable output power, runtime scalability, and predictable lifecycle cost matter, the P80-2200 offers clear advantages.
