P80-1100 vs CyberPower PR1000RT2UC
The Xtreme Power P80-1100 and CyberPower PR1000RT2UC are 120V pure sine wave line-interactive 2U rack/tower UPS with AVR and eight 5-15R outlets. They deliver comparable real watts (990 W vs 1000 W); the P80-1100 is the TAA-compliant alternative in a far lighter chassis (30.5 vs 50.1 lb) with an optional maintenance bypass and wall/2-post mounting.
What the P80-1100 brings
- TAA compliant for federal and regulated procurement (the standard PR1000RT2UC is not TAA).
- 30.5 lb vs 50.1 lb — roughly 20 lb (about 40%) lighter.
- Optional XBDM maintenance bypass for service without dropping the load (CyberPower: none).
- Tower, wall, 2-post and 4-post mounting (CyberPower: rack / tower).
- Up to 99% ECO-mode efficiency and a 3-year UPS & battery warranty.

The P80-1100 leads on TAA compliance, a far lighter chassis (30.5 vs 50.1 lb), an optional maintenance bypass, and mounting flexibility; the PR1000RT2UC adds built-in cloud monitoring and a $400k connected-equipment guarantee. Confirm CyberPower specifications against current CyberPower documentation.
Choosing between them
Choose the P80-1100 when you need TAA compliance, a much lighter unit to handle and rack, a maintenance bypass, or wall/2-post mounting. The PR1000RT2UC fits sites that want built-in cloud monitoring out of the box and the connected-equipment guarantee.
Choose the P80-1100 if you need
- TAA-compliant procurement
- A much lighter chassis (30.5 lb)
- A maintenance bypass for in-place service
- Wall or 2-post mounting in branch / IDF closets
The PR1000RT2UC may fit if you need
- Built-in cloud monitoring out of the box
- A $400,000 connected-equipment guarantee
- Lowest acquisition cost where TAA is not required
