Keep your gear safe

Audio/video and office electronics are sensitive and susceptible to damage from electrical surges and spikes. Monster's dependable surge protectors have saved thousands of systems over the years. Plug your valuable equipment into the Monster Core Power 800 AVU and keep it safe from harm. You get eight protected AC outlets and two protected USB inputs for charging your tablet and phone.

Surges and spikes can travel not only on your AC power line, but also on cable TV and antenna lines. That's why Monster included two sets of surge-protected coaxial inputs and outputs. And it's not just your gear that's safe — Monster is mindful of your home and family too. They've used specially-engineered parts to reduce the risk of the unit catching on fire during a power surge.

Protect your 'net

You depend on your modem and router every day, whether you rent or own them. Much of our work and entertainment these days rely on a healthy connection to our home network. When that network is down, our productivity, listening, and viewing options can be greatly reduced. You certainly don't want to wait days for service calls and replacement parts. Use the 800 AVU's coaxial connections and outlets to shield your modem and router, so your network stays strong.

Features

Overview: The Monster Core Power EXP 800 AVU protects your home electronics from dangerous power surges and spikes. It has 8 AC outlets, as well as two pairs of coaxial connections. The EXP 800 AVU has a 6' flexible power cord with a low-profile, right-angled 3-pronged power plug.

AC Outlets: The EXP 800 AVU features 8 surge-protected AC outlets, six that are aligned vertically in two columns, and two wide-spaced outlets that easily accommodate transformers ("wall warts"). The 8 outlets provide a total of up to 1440 Joules of surge protection for your TV, DVD/Blu-ray players, PCs, laptops, Cable TV/Satellite equipment, and game consoles.

Coaxial Protection: Because power surges can enter your home through antenna and cable connections, the EXP 800 AVU includes two pairs of coaxial connections. Two coax inputs and two coax outputs are provided to protect your TV or satellite/cable TV box. No coax cables are included.

FireProof MOVs: Standard surge protectors account for 37% of all home electrical fires. Some inexpensive surge protectors uses lower quality MOVs (Metal Oxide Varistors) that may spark or get very hot when subjected to powerful electrical surges. The MOVs in the Monster Power EXP 800 AVU are encased in a specially-engineered ceramic material that will not catch fire during a power surge.

Power Filtration: Monster's Clean Power technology filters out EMI and RFI interference caused by "dirty" power coming into your home from the power company. Also, appliances inside your home, such as microwave ovens, mixers, and refrigerators, can cause interference. This interference can create lines on your computer or TV screen, or noise in your audio system, degrading performance. Monster's Clean Power Filtration technology can assure you have better picture and sound.

Monster Connected Equipment Warranty: The EXP 800 AVU is backed by a $250,000 Connected Equipment Warranty. If any equipment properly connected to the surge protector is damaged by power surge, Monster will replace the damaged equipment. Details and definitions are included in the product manual.

Wall Mountable: The EXP 800 AVU can be placed on the floor, on a tabletop, or mounted to a wall. Four keyhole slots are provided for wall mounting.

Specifications:

  • Electrical Rating: 120VAC, 15A, 60Hz, 1800W
