Step up to cleaner power for your home theater system with PS Audio's Power Port AC receptacle. This durable, custom-built outlet can improve the performance of your audio/video gear. While developing their state-of-the-art power conditioners, PS Audio engineers discovered serious limitations in the standard AC receptacles found in most homes. These devices are poorly built, using stamped steel or low-grade brass, and they tend to corrode easily. The Power Port boasts 15 coats of polished nickel for rock-solid connections. It's easy to install into any electrical box using the included hardware and simple instructions. And Stereophile magazine has named the Power Port among its "Recommended Components" for several years running.

Features

Overview: PS Audio introduces the Power Port, a high-end AV grade AC receptacle available in two styles (Gray or White) that can make a significant contribution to your system's performance. This is a custom built, hospital grade, 15 to 20 amp receptacle that is easy to install in your home's wall socket. Power Ports replace the sub-standard AC power connection outlets in your home and can contribute greatly to the performance and long term reliability of your AV system.

Hospital Grade Outlet: The Power Port is a certifiable Hospital Grade outlet. This means that the outlet's contacts insure that tension is maintained on any male plug that is inserted into the Power Port.

Nickel Coated With Copper Contacts: The Power Port AC receptacle features 15 separate coats of nickel and 15 separate hand polishing operations, along with high copper content contacts to achieve maximum conductivity and durability.

20-Amp Ready: The Power Port is 20 amp ready, but can be used in any 15 amp circuit as well. Due to the construction of the Power Port, you can run anything from a 10 amp to a 20 amp circuit and be perfectly legal and approved. You can even run a 15 amp circuit on the bottom plug and a 20 amp on the top plug or vice versa.

Note: Terminal Capacity - 15 Amp (14-10 AWG wire), 20 Amp (12-10 AWG wire)

Duplex Design: You can separate the top and bottom receptacle of each duplex Power Port. You can even run a separate dedicated circuit to the top plug as isolated from the bottom plug. This allows the user maximum isolation within the system; using the top plug for digital, the bottom for analog for example.

UL Certified: The Power Port is completely UL listed and are safe to place in your home.

Mounting: The Power Port comes supplied with two mounting screws and can be installed in any single gang electrical box.

Wiring: The Power Port uses the back-wire method for the hot and neutral terminals. The Power Port is an isolated ground device. If installed into a metal junction box with no ground wire it must be grounded for safety.

Note: Do not use aluminum wires to connect the Power Port.
