Features
Protect or Disconnect Circuitry: The Panamax MD2-RCA Surge Protector's exclusive "Protect or Disconnect" circuitry safeguards your equipment against all surges. In the event of a
catastrophic surge such as lightning, the MD2-RCA completely disconnects AC power to
your connected equipment.
Two AC Outlets: The two 3-prong AC outlets are turned 90-degress from
one another to accommodate different style plugs or transformers. One plug is
located on the left-side, while the other plug is located on the right-side.
Right-Angle AC Plug: The Panamax MD2-RCA Surge Protector features an
integrated right-angle 3-prong AC plug which plugs directly into an AC wall
outlet.
Noise Filtration Circuit: The Panamax MD2-RCA Surge Protector utilizes a
Noise Filtration Circuit (EMI/RFI) to remove noise and provide clean power.
RCA Line-Level Protection: The Panamax MD2-RCA also protects your
equipment from electrical surges that travel over low voltage RCA lines through
its 3 pairs of RCA signal line connectors and RCA module.
Note: The unit's RCA signal line connectors can be used with mono
and stereo audio signals, as well as composite and component video signals.
Two Diagnostic Lights: Two Panamax MD2-RCA is equipped with two Diagnostic
Lights (LED) - Power On/Protection OK and Line Fault.
- Power On/Protection OK: This LED (blue) indicates the power is
on, surge protector is functioning properly, and all connected equipment is
protected.
- Line Fault: If this LED is lit (red), it indicates an improperly
wired outlet.
Paintable Cover: The MD2-RCA's removable front-cover is paintable to
ensure a seamless fit with almost any décor.
