The Eaton 5E Gen2 is the essential tier of Eaton’s line-interactive UPS range, built for workstations, single PCs and small loads that need straightforward protection at a sensible price. It rides through the everyday surges, sags and short outages with Automatic Voltage Regulation, and holds the load on battery long enough for a clean shutdown when the power fails. It is the simplest way to stop a power blip turning into lost work or a corrupted file.

What is the 5E Gen2 for?

It suits a desktop PC and monitor, a till, a small NAS, a CCTV recorder or a piece of office equipment, anywhere a brief outage would interrupt work but the equipment does not need the continuous, gap-free power of an online UPS. It is the entry point to the Eaton range; for light servers or network gear, step up to the 5SC, and for racks the 5P or 5PX. Not sure how big? Our guide to sizing a UPS shows how.

Key features

Automatic Voltage Regulation. Double-boost AVR corrects under and over-voltage without using the battery, so the battery is saved for genuine outages and lasts longer.

Clean shutdown. On USB models, the bundled power-management software shuts your PC down safely when the battery runs low, protecting open files.

Flexible outlets. Available with national (FR, DIN/IT, BS) or IEC C13 outlets to suit your equipment.

Simple and dependable. Constant battery recharge, cold-start capability and a two-year warranty.

Technical specifications

Which Eaton UPS is right for you?

The 5E Gen2 is the essential, workstation-class choice. For light servers and network infrastructure, step up to the 5SC; for racks that need the best line-interactive protection, the 5P Gen2 or 5PX Gen2. If your equipment cannot tolerate even a momentary transfer, you need an online UPS instead; our line-interactive vs online guide explains the difference, and the UPS and power protection hub maps every scenario to a model.
