A Workhorse UPS for Serious Power Protection
The APC Smart-UPS Ultra 5000VA is a powerhouse designed for environments where uptime genuinely matters—small data rooms, lab environments, AV racks, industrial control stations, and high-end home labs. After spending time with it, I can confidently say it delivers exceptional performance, but it’s not a casual plug-and-play UPS. It’s a serious piece of infrastructure equipment, and you should approach it as such.
What I Liked
Outstanding Power Delivery: With 5000VA capacity and a broad range of NEMA outlets (5-20R, L6-20R, L6-30R, L14-30R), it easily handles mixed-voltage loads. The integrated transformer providing 208/240V to 120/208/240V output options is a huge advantage for multi-equipment setups.
High Efficiency & Low Heat Output: Compared to older APC units, this Ultra series runs cooler and more efficiently. It’s clear APC optimized the internal power electronics for modern loads.
Solid Build Quality: It’s dense, heavy, and extremely well-constructed—exactly what you want from a critical-infrastructure UPS.
Excellent Monitoring Features: Network management, robust logging, and good integration options make maintenance and monitoring straightforward.
What Could Be Better
Noise: The fans are noticeable. It’s not deafening, but you won’t want this sitting next to your desk. It belongs in a server room or equipment area.
Weight & Footprint: This thing is massive. Moving it and installing it is a two-person job minimum.
Price: Like most APC enterprise gear, it’s expensive—but you’re paying for reliability and runtime consistency.
Verdict
If you need a reliable, high-capacity UPS that supports mixed voltages and provides enterprise-grade monitoring and protection, the APC Smart-UPS Ultra 5000VA is an excellent investment. For mission-critical systems, there’s real peace of mind in knowing you have a unit built to handle serious loads with minimal drama. Just make sure you have the right environment—and muscle power—to install it.
Overall, a robust, professional-grade UPS that delivers exactly what it promises.

reliable UPS
I needed to quote a customer for a unit and at first it didn't seem to be the best fit but after some talking and making the right decision we definitely found this unit to be the best unit for us
