CyberPower has expanded its Online S Series UPS lineup with two new high-performance models built for critical IT environments, the OLS2K2ERT2UH and the OLS3KERT2UH. Announced in Sydney, the two models strengthen CyberPower’s offering for businesses and IT professionals who need dependable power protection for servers, storage, networking hardware and other equipment that cannot afford downtime.
Both units combine online double-conversion technology, a Power Factor of 1, a tiltable colour LCD and an integrated maintenance bypass, aiming to deliver high-quality power protection alongside more practical day-to-day management for operators.

Why the Online S Series UPS Targets Critical IT Environments
As organisations lean further into always-on digital systems, the cost of poor power quality, unexpected outages and service interruptions keeps climbing. The OLS2K2ERT2UH and OLS3KERT2UH are built to address that risk, helping protect servers, storage, networking hardware, security systems and other essential equipment from power disturbances that can trigger downtime, data loss and hardware stress.
Vince Mazzeo, Technical Operations Manager for CyberPower Systems ANZ, said the launch reflects a broader commitment to practical protection for modern IT setups. “The introduction of the OLS2K2ERT2UH and OLS3KERT2UH reinforces CyberPower’s commitment to delivering advanced, practical power protection solutions for modern IT environments,” Mazzeo said. “These models are designed to give businesses more usable output, easier visibility and simplified maintenance, while ensuring the reliable, high-quality power that critical systems depend on.”
A Power Factor of 1 and Zero-Transfer Protection
One of the standout traits of the new Online S Series UPS models is a High Output Power Factor of 1, which lets the UPS deliver more usable power and support higher total watt loads. In practice, that means businesses can protect more of their critical load without overspecifying infrastructure, squeezing extra value out of the same UPS capacity.
Sitting alongside that is online double-conversion technology, which continuously regulates incoming power and delivers zero-transfer time. That combination is meant to keep connected equipment shielded from blackouts, brownouts, surges and other disturbances, an important distinction for organisations running applications that simply cannot tolerate a gap in power quality.
Easier Monitoring, Maintenance and Remote Management
CyberPower has also put effort into day-to-day usability. Both new models feature a tiltable colour LCD with a graphical interface designed to make monitoring and configuration more intuitive. Because the screen can be angled upward, it stays readable even when the unit sits low in a rack or equipment room, which should save IT teams a bit of hassle during routine checks.
An integrated maintenance bypass rounds out the physical design, letting operators switch to utility power through bypass mode so servicing can happen without shutting down connected equipment or the wider power system. For teams trying to minimise disruption during scheduled maintenance, that feature alone can be the difference between a quiet afternoon and an unplanned outage window.
Remote management is covered too. Compatible models include a built-in Remote Cloud Card that connects to PowerPanel Cloud, giving administrators real-time UPS information and remote control through a secure web portal or mobile app. That is particularly useful for organisations managing equipment across multiple sites, where physically checking on a UPS unit is not always practical.
Built to Scale With Parallel Expansion
For businesses planning ahead, the Online S platform supports parallel expansion, allowing multiple UPS units to be connected to increase overall capacity and achieve N+X power redundancy. That scalability makes the range a reasonable fit for organisations that expect their power protection needs to grow alongside their infrastructure, rather than wanting to replace units outright as demand increases.
Additional features round out the package, including relay-type dry contacts for UPS status monitoring, extended battery module auto-detection, an Emergency Power Off dry contact port and PowerPanel Management Software for power management and graceful system shutdown.

What It Means for Buyers
For organisations evaluating UPS options, the value proposition behind the OLS2K2ERT2UH and OLS3KERT2UH is fairly straightforward. They are designed to help protect critical equipment, reduce the risk of downtime, maximise usable UPS capacity, simplify monitoring and maintenance, and support future expansion as operational needs grow.
With this launch, CyberPower continues to build out the Online S Series UPS range as an option for organisations that want advanced UPS performance without sacrificing manageability. More detail on both models, including full specifications, is available through CyberPower’s Australian website.
