Eliminate power threats
Home electronics cost a lot of money, so it's smart to protect your investment with the APC 15-amp-rated C10 Power Filter. The very real danger of power surges can wipe out valuable information and systems, which means your home theater, computer, and other electronics are at risk. SurgeArrest assures instantaneous reaction to lightning strikes and wiring faults. If the surge components are damaged due to power spike or over voltage, excess power cannot reach your equipment. Most ordinary surge suppressors, unlike APC SurgeArrest products, continue to let power through even after circuits have been damaged, leaving your equipment exposed to other damaging surges. Stop relying on cheap power strips. Instead, use the single component that eliminates all power threats to your high performance A/V and data systems.
What power filtering can do for you
APC's C10 Power Filter gives you 12 surge-protected and filtered outlets. Six of these outlets have EMI/RFI noise filtering for digital devices such as HDTVs, DVRs, and DVD players. There are also two analog, two video, and two high current (amplifiers, subwoofers) filtered outlets. Component-specific noise filtering banks prevent video and audio signal distortion. You also get surge protection and isolated noise filtering. Power filtering is a much-needed solution that eliminates stress on component power supplies, eradicates EMI/RFI and voltage fluctuation as a source of AV signal degradation, and protects equipment from damaging surges, spikes voltages, and lightning. If you live in a place where electrical noise and radio frequency interference is severe enough to affect picture and sound quality, this APC filter can improve your cinematic experience by allowing the equipment to perform to its maximum capabilities. Sequenced turn on/off functionality regulates the way audio equipment is powered up/down. This feature prevents component damage, especially to speakers, caused by not turning A/V components on and off in the correct order. Inductorless filtering for high current components is also included.
Protects data lines too
APC's C3 Power Filter provides data line (Ethernet, coaxial, and phone lines) protection of your equipment from surges. It's very important to protect your equipment from back door surges traveling through data lines, because they can be just as damaging to your equipment as surges traveling over power lines.
Maybe you should think about battery backup
One blip in your power can be ruinous. If there's a surge or even momentary outage, you can lose practically your entire home theater set-up. Your onscreen electronic program guide can disappear, your DVR hard drive can be lost; and because fans stop running to cool them, expensive front projector lamps can overheat and blow out. This applies to rear projector TV lamps as well. Plus, all that invaluable custom programming the installer did will get wiped out and send you back to the factory presets, requiring another install. Not only is your home theater at risk, but so are music systems and computer hard drives. Only an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) with a battery backup can protect you from power outages. APC C Type Power Filters like this C10 don't have battery backup; but J Types and S Types do, and those models are also available right here at Vann's. Just enter APC into the main search function at the top of any page.

If you want a serious surge protector for your home-theater system, look no further than this masterfully sculpted piece of power. I have a powerful receiver, 55 inch flat LED TV, a Blu-Ray DVD player and a 400 disc DVD player, kareoke player a host of JBL speakers with a 12 subwoofer hitting a massive 500 watts and my verizon FIOS receiver. This surge protector cleans the power that my system uses, gives me enough plugs to add more equipment and protects my system against the sub-tropical weather storms of Florida. The detailed lighting system on the top of the protector gives me a birds eye view of how the system is functioning. If you want a quality product, don't settle for less than the APC C-10.....The price was great!

My husband pressured me into buying the C10 APC Power Filter so that we would have something high quality to plug our new Sony Bravia used as a monitor into as well as all our computer stuff. I wasnt thrilled to spend money on what I thought was just a power strip in my husbands defense he did explain what it does and how it is a vital piece of hardware for anyone protecting good equipment and am I happy I went along with him on this! It is very sleek and pretty to look at. Its black so it goes with all the other components, has the blue light that glows which looks cool, and all of our many components plug into it with room for more! wont pretend to understand hardware, but I am very happy with it and it not only does the job, it makes the room look that much better too. I highly recommend this power filter. --Kathy W.

Its an advanced power strip with noise filtering. Has connections for just about anything you need protected. Well spaced outlets, front facing power meters and power button. Also, very good lifetime warranty.
Ive already burned up a 2-3 year old unit and APC replaced it without question. In fact, they sent the replacement unit out first so i would have a box to ship the broken unit back in.
The blue lights on the power meters and button can be turned off if you choose. Wall mount bracket was included. All in all... very nice unit for someone looking to protect their investments in a good home entertainment system.

Living in Colorado, lots of sping, summer and fall afternoon storms contain lightning making power protection and filtering a must have..
This unit has everything I was looking for at a great price. Plus the display telling you when that the protecting circuitry is working and more importantly, when its NOT working is a great feature.
The only draw back on this was the manufacturers packaging. The plastic left some scarring on the finish of the unit.

I picked this up for our AV system and new plasma TV. Power conditioners/protection may not be sexy, but this one just works. Its a lot less than those offered by a few high end companies but the build quality is like a tank.
Hopefully they will redesign how it sitshangs, not thought out very well.
Vanns shipping was fast and complete. Thanks!
