P80-3000 vs APC Smart-UPS SMT3000RM2UC
The Xtreme Power P80-3000 and APC Smart-UPS SMT3000RM2UC are both 3000 VA 120 V line-interactive rack UPS with AVR and true sine wave output. Both deliver full 2700 W; the P80-3000 differentiates on shallower depth, extended runtime, high-current outlets, and battery warranty.
What the P80-3000 brings
- Extended runtime with external battery packs (APC: none)
- Shallower rack depth for easier installation
- More high-current (5-15/20R) output receptacles
- Local Web/SNMP without cloud dependency
- Longer standard battery warranty; TAA
