APC E3SOPT016 | Easy UPS 3S Parallel Kit, 15m Cable, Up to 4 Units

Q: What UPS models is the E3SOPT016 parallel kit compatible with?
A: The E3SOPT016 is designed exclusively for use with the APC Easy UPS 3S and Easy UPS 3S Pro series. It is not compatible with other APC UPS families.

Q: How many UPS units can I connect in parallel using this kit?
A: This parallel kit supports connecting up to four Easy UPS 3S or Easy UPS 3S Pro units in a parallel configuration, enabling either increased total capacity or N+1 redundancy.

Q: What does the 15m cable length refer to, and why does it matter?
A: The 15m cable is the parallel interconnect cable included in the kit, used to link the UPS units together. The longer cable length provides greater flexibility in positioning the UPS units relative to each other within a data centre or facility.

Q: How does parallel configuration benefit my power infrastructure?
A: Running multiple UPS units in parallel allows you to scale total power capacity beyond a single unit, or configure redundancy so that if one unit fails, the others continue to support the load — essential for high-availability environments.

Q: Do I need additional accessories to complete a parallel setup?
A: The number of kits required depends on the number of UPS units in the parallel configuration. Consult the Easy UPS 3S parallel installation guide or contact iptrading.com.au for advice on the correct number of kits for your deployment.
