Your comms rack is running hot, the server's humming, and one brown-out away from a full crash. You don't need a power strip with a battery bolted on. You need clean, uninterrupted power that actually fits your short-base rack profile.
The Centurion RT 2000VA Short Base does exactly that. True online double conversion means zero transfer time between mains and battery — your network gear never blinks, never reboots, never drops a call. The 0.9 output power factor lets you push more real watts than a typical 2000VA unit, so that extra managed switch or access point doesn't tip the balance.
Advanced ECO mode runs at up to 98% efficiency when your mains voltage is stable. Less heat in the rack. Lower draw on your power bill. The hot-swappable battery pack (4 × 12V 9Ah) means you swap cells without pulling the unit or killing the load. The extra-large charger gets you back to full capacity fast after a long event.
Rack or tower. Generator compatible. EPO button for the emergency. LCD panel shows voltage, load percentage, and battery state at a glance. 2-year warranty. Built for medium-density power protection in Australian server rooms and telecom racks
