Features

Overview: The Panamax M8-AV Surge Protector features 8 AC outlets controlled by the unit's power switch. The M8-AV also provides protection for coaxial and telephone connections. In addition, this surge protector is equipped with 3 diagnostic LEDs.

AVM Automatic Voltage Monitoring: The Panamax M8-AV utilizes an AVM (Automatic Voltage Monitoring) system to protect your connected equipment against prolonged over/under voltages by disconnecting the power and reconnecting it when safe power returns. The Panamax M8-AV will protect your AV system from catastrophic surges. 

Lifetime $5,000,000 Connected Equipment Warranty: Panamax will replace or repair equipment that is damaged by an AC or signal line surge while connected to a properly installed Panamax surge protector (up to $5,000,000).

8 AC Outlets: The 8 AC outlets provide power protection with transformer spacing between outlets.

Power Cord: The surge protector features an attached 8 ft power cord with a right-angle, 45-degree offset three-prong plug.

Mounting: The Panamax M8-AV Surge Protector can be placed on the floor, on a shelf, or inside a cabinet. The M8-AV can also be wall-mounted using the integrated wall-mount brackets, key-hole slots, and supplied hardware.
