Deciding between rackmount UPS options for UPS critical power protection usually comes down to two questions: how much load do you need to carry, and how particular is your equipment about power quality. Here, the CyberPower OR2200LCDRT2U offers a larger capacity, while the W Box Technologies OE-RCKMT1500 counters with an open-box new condition. The right choice depends on what is inside your rack.
Quick verdict
If your rack has a high total VA draw, the CyberPower is the stronger fit. If you prefer an un-used unit and your gear is sensitive to power quality, the W Box is the better match.

Product notes
CyberPower OR2200LCDRT2U Rackmount Smart UPS 2200VA 120V Battery Backup
This CyberPower unit is the higher-capacity option. The 2200VA rating gives you room to run multiple servers, switches, and network appliances before the UPS reaches its limit. It also has line-interactive topology with AVR, so voltage fluctuations are corrected without constantly switching to battery. An LCD status display, USB and serial ports, and support for an optional remote management card make it easy to monitor. The main caveat is condition: it is listed as used, so you should be comfortable with a pre-owned unit. Also, the NEMA 5-20P input plug requires a matching 20-amp receptacle or a properly rated adapter. If capacity is your priority, this model is the one to shortlist.
W Box Technologies OE-RCKMT1500 1500VA/1050W Rackmount UPS - Open Box New
The W Box takes a different approach. It is open-box new, meaning the unit has not been used and the original packaging was opened to verify contents. Its 1500VA/1050W rating is more modest, but pure sine wave output makes it a safer match for sensitive electronics. The system converts between 2U rackmount and tower placement, which is handy if your rack layout changes. Eight surge-plus-battery outlets and an integrated LCD display round out the package. The trade-off is capacity: at 1050W, you need to confirm your connected load fits comfortably inside that envelope. If clean output and an un-used unit are non-negotiable, this is the model to start with.
Final choice by use case
For a high-density rack with a large total VA draw, choose the CyberPower OR2200LCDRT2U; its $184.98 listed price buys battery backup with plenty of headroom. For a smaller rack where a tidy 2U form factor and clean power are more important, choose the W Box Technologies OE-RCKMT1500 at $420.00. Both provide automatic voltage regulation, so the final decision comes down to how much load you need to support and whether an un-used unit matters to you.
