Ubiquiti Redundant Power System 100W Module (RPS-100W)

The Ubiquiti RPS-100W is a compact and reliable redundant power supply module designed to provide seamless backup power to compatible Ubiquiti devices that support the USP-RPS system. In high-availability networking environments, power redundancy is essential for ensuring continuous operation and minimizing the risk of downtime caused by unexpected power failures. The RPS-100W addresses this need by acting as a hot-swappable, plug-in module that instantly provides up to 100 watts of failover power to supported equipment in the event of a primary power supply failure.

Tailored for use with the UniFi SmartPower RPS (USP-RPS) system, the RPS-100W is one of several modular power supplies that can be installed in the USP-RPS chassis. The USP-RPS system supports up to six modular power supplies, allowing it to back up multiple connected devices simultaneously. The RPS-100W specifically supports devices that require a 100-watt power draw, such as access points, switches, and security gateways within the UniFi ecosystem. This flexibility allows network administrators to build a scalable and centralized power redundancy solution that reduces infrastructure risk across critical deployments.

The RPS-100W’s form factor is designed for quick installation and effortless management. It fits securely into a single bay of the USP-RPS chassis and can be replaced or installed without the need to power down the system, preserving network uptime during maintenance or upgrades. The module is automatically recognized by the UniFi Network Controller, which provides real-time monitoring of power availability, load, and status through an intuitive dashboard. This visibility allows for proactive power management and ensures that network administrators can respond quickly to any changes in system status.

From a technical standpoint, the RPS-100W delivers clean and stable power that meets the requirements of sensitive networking hardware. Its high efficiency reduces energy waste and heat output, contributing to more sustainable and environmentally responsible data center or equipment room operations. Additionally, its integration with the UniFi ecosystem means it benefits from the same design philosophy of simplicity, scalability, and centralized management that defines Ubiquiti’s product line.

The RPS-100W is a particularly valuable component for mission-critical applications such as enterprise networks, data centers, hospitals, education institutions, and surveillance systems where maintaining uptime is non-negotiable. In environments where multiple UniFi devices are deployed, using redundant power modules like the RPS-100W ensures network continuity even during unexpected outages or power supply malfunctions.

In conclusion, the Ubiquiti RPS-100W is a robust, scalable, and intelligent power redundancy solution that supports uninterrupted operation of UniFi devices. By integrating it with the USP-RPS chassis, network professionals can deliver consistent performance and peace of mind in demanding network environments.
