Uninterruptible Power Supply Eaton ATS16N

The Eaton ATS16N is an automatic transfer switch solution that adds power redundancy to networking and IT equipment such as switches and routers. Housed in a compact 1U rack form factor, it connects to two independent power sources and automatically switches to the alternate source without interrupting powered devices. The ATS16N supports multiple connected devices and provides a cost-effective alternative to installing redundant power supplies in each network unit.

Advantages

The Eaton ATS16N provides seamless transfer between two power feeds to keep critical equipment online during a source failure. Its 1U rack size saves space in server cabinets while allowing centralized power redundancy. The device reduces capital expenditure by avoiding the need to buy expensive redundant power supplies for individual networking devices. Selected models offer network management and an LCD with basic metering and configuration capabilities.

Suitable for

• Data center and server rack installations requiring redundant power
• Network closets powering switches and routers
• Small to medium IT infrastructures where cost-effective redundancy is needed

Key specifications

• Form factor: 1U rackmount
• AC outlets: 9 (combination of C13 and C19 types)
• Input voltage range: 208–240 V
• Frequency: 50/60 Hz
• Weight: 3.5 kg
• Colour: Black
• Standards: IEC/EN certified

How to use

Install the Eaton ATS16N in a standard 1U rack space and connect each power source to the designated input terminals according to the installation manual. Plug networking equipment into the provided C13 and C19 outlets. Verify input voltages are within the 208–240 V range and ensure correct grounding. Configure network management options or the LCD settings on models that include those features, then test the automatic transfer functionality by simulating a power source failure to confirm seamless switchover.

Usage recommendations

Use the Eaton ATS16N with properly rated cables and follow local electrical codes. For critical loads, combine the ATS with UPS systems to protect against total power loss and to provide runtime during extended outages.
