American Power Conversion Simplifies Power Protection For Plasma And LCD Wall-Mount Displays

Versatile New C2 Power Filter Provides Advanced Surge Protection And Isolated Noise Filtering in a Discreet Wall-Mountable Design

October 10, 2007

American Power Conversion (APC) has introduced a power protection device ideal for today’s proliferation of flat, wall-mounted plasma and LCD TVs and monitors. The C2 Power Filter provides valuable surge protection and isolated noise filtering to hang-on-the-wall displays, and is designed to fit in the shallow wall spaces in which flat displays are typically mounted. Ideal for the home audio/video market, the C2 Power Filter features two surge-protected outlets, LED status indicators, and a slim profile less than two inches deep, allowing consumers to install the device directly behind wall-mounted televisions. “With the proliferation of plasma, LCD and projection displays, A/V consumers are seeking more discreet power protection solutions to integrate with the sleek styles of their Home Theaters," said Joe Loberti, general manager of APC’s Consumer Network Solutions Group. “APC AV’s C2 Power Filter offers a slender design with the proven functionality of our award-winning A/V solutions, including surge protection and isolated noise filtration, as well as APC’s Equipment Protection Policy.” The C2 Power Filter protects valuable Home Theater equipment from damaging surges and spikes caused by such power anomalies as lightning. Isolated input and output noise filter banks help eliminate electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) as sources of audio/video signal degradation. LED status indicators on the C2 Power Filter alert users to changing power conditions, including filtering, protection, overload, and wiring faults. A two-foot detachable power cord simplifies installation and increases flexibility for user and installer alike, giving both the option to switch to a longer cord (available separately) to meet specific installation conditions. The C2 Power Filter comes with a $350,000 Equipment Protection Policy for connected equipment, and is available from authorized APC dealers at an estimated price of $99.99.
