Panamax

Our take on the Panamax MD2-C

by Steve Kindig

The compact MD2-C plugs right into a standard AC wall outlet and provides reliable protection for two components. Run your TV's cable or antenna feed through the MD2-C's coaxial jacks to fully protect your television or DVR. The two AC outlets are placed on the sides to allow space-saving connections that let you move your furniture closer to the wall.

The MD2-C protects your gear without compromising performance — in fact, it may even improve it thanks to Panamax' proven noise filtering circuitry. And its wide frequency range lets it easily pass high-definition cable TV signals.

Highlights:

  • 2 side-mounted AC power outlets (always on)
  • 1 set of coaxial input/output jacks for cable TV or antenna (F-type connectors)
  • Protect or Disconnect™ circuitry safeguards equipment against all surges (disconnects AC power in the event of a lightning strike or other "catastrophic" surge)
  • EMI/RFI noise filtering provides clean power
  • maximum current rating: 15A
  • wide frequency range for use with satellite or cable TV (0 MHz - 2.2 GHz)
  • bi-directional for compatibility with digital cable services
  • low insertion loss (less than 0.5dB)
  • removable, paintable cover
  • 3-3/8"W x 5-3/4"H x 1-5/8"D
  • lifetime $100,000 connected equipment warranty
  • lifetime product warranty

    Features

    Protect or Disconnect Circuitry: The Panamax MD2-C 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-C 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-C 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-C Surge Protector utilizes a Noise Filtration Circuit (EMI/RFI) to remove noise and provide clean power.

    Coaxial Protection: One pair of universal CATV/SAT/ANT connectors (In/Out) protect your equipment from electrical surges that travel over low voltage lines.

    Two Diagnostic Lights: Two Panamax MD2-C 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-C's removable front-cover is paintable to ensure a seamless fit with almost any décor.

    Confident with Panamax

    Written By BecsFL, Florida on Thursday, October 28, 2010
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I purchased quite a few of these individual outlet surge suppressors for equipment AND
    cable. I am very happy with the Panamax brand and can feel safe and comfortable
    knowing that these suppressors will do their job in protecting my equipment. I learned
    the hard way by losing over $5,000 worth of equipment due to severe lightning strikes.
    The equipment I lost was all the equipment I never had surge suppressors on, so take
    my loss as a lesson, and get protected, ESPECIALLY if you life in Florida... the lightning
    capital of the world.

    I am also very happy with the service I received from Crutchfield.

    HIGHLY recommended.
