Surge Suppressors/Protectors

SURGE PROTECTION: Is Your AV System Truly Protected?

Power surges take many forms - lightning, inductive-load switching, electrostatic discharge, and more. These unpredictable voltage transients can be catastrophic to today's AV devices, which are highly vulnerable due to their internal microprocessing technology. This circuitry is incredibly sensitive and is not built to withstand sudden changes in current. With hundreds and even thousands of dollars of AV equipment on the line, surge protection is a vital and foundational element in any installation.

COMMON CAUSES OF SURGE & SPIKE EVENTS | Internal

- Undersized Power Supply
- Machinery or large power supply failure
- Bad Transformers

External

- Lightning
- Damage to telephone poles

SURGE PROTECTION: What Is SERIES PROTECTION?

Series mode protection is a more reliable and stronger option ideal for maximizing protection of expensive, sensitive AV components. Series mode protection's internal circuitry leverages a large, high-current inductor that is followed by an energy-absorbing circuit that's generally comprised of a bridge rectifier and capacitors. The series inductor slows the incoming current spike, which in turn spreads out the peak surge energy in the time domain and allows the surge to be harmlessly absorbed by the capacitors. With this design, series mode protection eliminates sacrificial design challenges.

In addition, some designs incorporate a capacitor bank that is always in circuit. In time, these capacitors will degrade. They are also susceptible to sustained over-voltage failure which causes a long term reliability problem.

If not replaced, capacitors can become leaky, or in some cases, fail completely. This is a well-known problem in the audio world, and audiophiles will "re-cap" their amps after a period of time. However, as part of the core for ensuring systems dependability, this is an expensive and inconvenient long-term solution.

Look for solutions that leverage Series Protection to its maximum capabilities, which has been engineered as the best way to manage energy. Middle Atlantic Products invested years of time and resources in its engineering and R&D teams. They went deep into the science of energy and series mode protection to discover ways it could provide a more reliable and enduring solution. The result is Series Protection, the industry's fastest responding, long-lasting patented surge protection technology that benefits all AV components. Series Protection is designed to deliver superior series mode protection through two unique capabilities.

The PDCOOL-1120R is a convenient one space package that combines power distribution and cooling into one power distribution unit. It is an integrated rackmount power distribution and cooling solution that offers a range of features to keep your equipment running smoothly. The PDCOOL-1120R features a quiet blower that exhausts 50 CFM with high static pressure to maintain flow, ensuring that your equipment stays cool even under heavy use. The blower is controlled by thermostatic proportional speed control, which runs only when needed, making it energy-efficient and cost-effective to operate. This power distribution unit also includes surge protection with notification, providing you with additional peace of mind and protection against power surges and spikes.

The ESP-POE are a low cost Ethernet surge protector to help protect sensitive equipment from surges caused by lightning and grid power fluctuations. They have a full metal body for improved EMI suppression and have integral mounting feet and separate ground wire. They are designed for indoor or outdoor use inside a weatherproof enclosure. The ESP-1000-POE is compatible with 10/100/1000M PoE systems up to 57V. The ESP-1000-POE24 is compatible with 10/100/1000M PoE systems up to 30V. The ESP-100-POE24 is for 10/100M passive PoE systems up to 30V. Protection is provided on all 8 CAT5/6 wires.

Features | 2-Outlet Surge Protector with USB Charging Safeguards Your Sensitive Electronics

Ideal for use in a hotel, airport, conference room or anywhere else you use your laptop, this Protect It!® surge protector features a surge protection rating of 306 joules to defend your valuable electronic components against power surges and spikes. The 18-inch (45.7-centimeter) AC power cord with right-angle NEMA 5-15P plug connects to a wall outlet and conveniently wraps around the unit for easy storage when not in use.

NEMA 5-15R Outlets Accept a Wide Range of Electronic Devices

Plug your laptop, printer, external hard drives and other portable electronics into two NEMA 5-15R outlets to protect them against dangerous surges, spikes and line noise. One outlet is in front of the surge protector and the other is on the side to help accommodate a bulky transformer without blocking the other outlet.

Premium Protection from EMI/RFI Line Noise Helps Your Equipment Perform Better

This surge protector filters out disruptive EMI (electromagnetic interference) and RFI (radio frequency interference) line noise that can disturb your electronics and inflict hardware damage or data loss. This EMI/RFI filtering also helps your connected components perform better and last longer.

USB Charger Keeps Mobile Devices Ready for Use

One USB-C port and one USB-A port are available for charging your smartphone, tablet. MP3 player or other USB mobile devices. The USB-C port has 3A and the USB-A port 2.4A for charging multiple devices at the same time. A green LED confirms at a glance that your equipment is protected.
