P80-2000 vs Eaton 5PX2000RTG2
The Xtreme Power P80-2000 and Eaton 5PX2000RTG2 are 120V pure sine wave line-interactive 2U rack/tower UPS with AVR, external-battery support, and an optional maintenance bypass. The 5PX G2 is unity power factor; the P80-2000 is the markedly lighter, shallower TAA-compliant alternative that fits short-depth racks and edge cabinets.
Where the P80-2000 fits
- Markedly lighter: 47.4 lb vs 65.3 lb — about 18 lb (27%) less to handle and rack.
- Shorter depth: 19.9 in vs 23.7 in — roughly 4 in shallower for short-depth racks and edge cabinets.
- TAA compliant for federal and regulated procurement, with competitive acquisition cost.
- Optional XBDM maintenance bypass and external P90-BP48 packs for extended runtime.
- Up to 99% ECO efficiency and a 3-year UPS & battery warranty.

Both are 2-class 120V line-interactive AVR pure sine UPS that accept external battery packs and an optional maintenance bypass, and both are TAA-compliant. The 5PX2000RTG2 rates higher real watts (1950 vs 1800 W, unity PF), offers a higher runtime ceiling (up to four EBMs), and adds cybersecure NETWORK-M2/M3 management with per-outlet energy metering. The P80-2000 is markedly lighter (47.4 vs 65.3 lb) and about 4 in shallower, fitting short-depth racks at competitive cost. Confirm Eaton specifications against current Eaton documentation.
Choosing between them
Choose the P80-2000 when weight, depth, and value matter — it is far lighter and shallower for short-depth racks and edge cabinets. Choose the 5PX2000RTG2 if you want maximum real watts, a higher runtime ceiling, or cybersecure network management.
Choose the P80-2000 if you need
- A much lighter and shallower 2U unit
- Short-depth racks and edge cabinets
- TAA-compliant procurement at competitive cost
- Easier handling and service
The 5PX2000RTG2 may fit if you need
- Maximum real watts (1950 W, unity PF)
- A higher runtime ceiling (up to 4 EBMs)
- Cybersecure NETWORK-M2/M3 management + outlet metering
