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.
