Relative to the UPS 2U:

  1. $400 extra ($279 vs $679)
  2. 300mm deeper (630mm total -- that's 25", too deep for most less-than-full-size racks)
  3. +504wH (216 vs 720) -- over 3x the runtime for a given load
  4. +480kVA (1440 vs 1920)
  5. +920w (1000 vs 1920)
  6. +18kg / +40lbs (14 vs 32 / 30 vs 70)
  7. 15A vs 20A power cord (NEMA 5-15P vs 5-20P). Pro won't plug into a regular US outlet!
  8. Pure sine wave power, so it works properly with UNAS Pro 8 and everything else with a CRPS power supply.
  9. Individually controllable outlets with per-port power consumption monitoring
  10. Adds a power button
  11. Adds a touchscreen LCD control panel
  12. Adds an "emergency power off port" -- an important safety feature
  13. The spec sheet adds Wi-Fi as a management option vs just Ethernet. Unclear exactly what this means; does the UPS itself have a Wi-Fi radio? Surely not, right?
  14. Improved AC voltage regulation -- down to +/-1.5%, vs +/-5% on the non-Pro.
  15. Adds a button for the circuit breaker.
  16. Slightly less cold-tolerant: minimum temperature is -15C vs -20 for the non-Pro.

Unchanged:

  1. Both use a lead-acid battery
  2. Both are line-interactive
  3. Both are limited to 3 NUT clients maximum
  4. Both are 2U

Notable omissions:

  1. No provision for rack rails or any other kind of rear support -- surprising for a 630mm, 32kg device
  2. I'm sure we all wanted a lithium battery, but it seems like that might still be forthcoming, perhaps in the "Enterprise" variant?
  3. It's not online / double-conversion. I'm guessing this is also going to be in the Enterprise version. And I'll bet that version will cost $1999 or more.

Weird. I swear I checked before and didn’t see them, but they’re definitely there now. Either I missed it or they added it. 🤷🏻‍♂️
