3.0 out of 5 stars Voltage Chronicles: Trials of the CyberPower

2026-03-03    -Slava Mak

Prologue: Stars and SafetyLet's embark on a tale where stars align with cautionary hues. First, let me attest: PR2000RTXL2UC is a marvel, assuming you've got the space to accommodate its grandeur (details forthcoming). However, my journey begins with a deductive stance aimed at Amazon—a star lost for their perplexing stance on UPS returns, citing "Hazmat safety reasons." Pardon my skepticism—shipping without concerns yet balking at returns for an unused, intact unit?A second star finds its way into the deductive line-up, this time aimed at CyberPower. Their unit dimensions misled, and their support evaded, leaving me to navigate this odyssey solo.A word of caution now unfolds: consider this UPS only if your abode boasts a full-scale server rack or a cabinet reaching the approximate depth of 24 inches unless you are ready to brace yourself for a DIY journey of epic proportions. 🌟Chapter 1: The Decepticons of NumbersIn a realm where technology rules, I embarked on a quest for the perfect UPS. The CyberPower PR2000RTXL2UC beckoned with its promises of power and protection. But beware, brave soul, for this journey is not for the faint of heart.My TrippLite 12U server cabinet, a trusty companion, stood at 21.5 inches deep. CyberPower’s measurements claimed a mere 19.7 inches. A perfect fit, I thought. But oh, the deception! The mounting rails stretched a formidable 20-7/16 inches, expandable to 36. My cabinet’s sweet spot? A modest 12-15 inches between the vertical posts. The battle was on.And the depth? With the front panel attached, it expanded to 20-1/4 inches. Add a finger-thick power cable, and we were at a daunting 21-1/2 inches. Since Amazon and CyberPower abandoned me, not giving up was my only option.Chapter 2: I Think I Can Lift That!Hope still shimmered. The cabinet door, with its half-inch frame, posed another challenge. Mounting the UPS on the bottom? Impossible. Raising it by one unit was my only choice. But what could hold this 80-pound beast?RIVECO’s 19” 2U Rack Shelf, despite its 110-pound claim, sagged under 40lb. A new hero emerged: the NavePoint 1U Vented 4-Post 12-inch Shelf, capable of bearing 242 pounds. A quick Dremel session to remove upper lip, some black spray paint, and it was ready.With limited space, I summoned a comrade to help lift the UPS into the cabinet. Secure mounting required IAENCLOSURES 2U Universal 9-inch L-shaped brackets, but they needed custom drilling and a black paint makeover. Exhausted but triumphant, I closed and locked the cabinet door. Or so I thought.Chapter 3: Bloody PDU!Excitement surged as I prepared to test the UPS. My trusty TrippLite 20A PDU1220 awaited its turn. But horror struck—the PDU had a straight power plug, unfit for the tight space behind the UPS. I had expected a 90-degree angle plug like the UPS itself. Panic ensued.Determined, I donned my MacGyver hat. Remember, tinkering with electrical systems is perilous. Seek professional electrician help if needed! With years of experience, I carefully replaced the PDU cable with a NEMA 5-20 Male Plug Angled Up to IEC320 C19 Connector Power Cord from StayOnline.com. A new 58247 0.875 Diameter Round Strain Relief Bushing secured the cord. Testing the 20A breaker, I sighed in relief. The journey was complete.Chapter 4: Serenity RestoredDespite Amazon’s obstacles and CyberPower being a “fish stick”, I emerged victorious. The PR2000RTXL2UC is a marvel, boasting 2000VA/2000W capacity, improved efficiency, quiet operation, and expandability. Its programmable outlet control and 2430J surge protection are stellar. The PowerPanel software is intuitive and easy to navigate.If you have the space (and patience), this UPS is a worthy investment. Expensive, yes, but unparalleled in its class. Measure thrice, embark on your DIY adventure, and relish the peace of mind it brings.

Disappointed but it works.

Battery connector damaged (from factory test?), cloud module can’t be disabled or removed (energy waste and possible safety concern), no ethernet cable included.

Excellent product
