AC power, telephone and coax lines can provide direct pathways for surges and spikes to enter and damage expensive audio/video equipment. The Panamax® SP8-AV Surge Protector eliminates voltage irregularities and protects your A/V system. 8 AC outlets provide power protection with transformer spacing between the outlets. There are also in/out telephone connectors and in/out coax connectors for cable or satellite. And in the event of a catastrophic surge such as lightning, the exclusive Protect or Disconnect™ circuitry completely disconnects AC power to connected equipment.
