Overview
- The PowerShield MBS2K is a rack mount bypass switch with integrated hot swap PDU designed to eliminate downtime during routine UPS maintenance. It provides seven outlets for power distribution and accepts a 10Amp input, making it suitable for 1–2kVA UPS systems. The unit mounts flexibly in standard server racks or on walls, horizontally or vertically, and integrates seamlessly with PowerShield Centurion RT and Commander RT UPS ranges.
Key benefits include the ability to perform maintenance at any time without interrupting connected equipment. The bypass switch topology supports all UPS modes—offline, line interactive, and true online double conversion—ensuring broad compatibility with existing infrastructure. The integrated PDU eliminates the need for separate power distribution hardware, streamlining rack layouts and reducing cable clutter.
Built for Australian business environments, the MBS2K provides a reliable solution for organisations that cannot tolerate downtime during system maintenance. Its compact 1U form factor fits standard server rack configurations, and the multiple mounting options provide flexibility in space-constrained installations.
