CES 2008: APC AV’s C2 power filter discretely protects your flatscreen

It’s ironic that people are willing to spend so much money on high-end LCD and plasma TVs but then blanch at buying power regulating equipment that could save their screen in the event of a lightning storm or power surge.  APC AV are certainly taking the “but it looks ugly” argument out of the equation with their C2 Power Filter; while it might resemble little more than a black shoe-box, the fact that it’s merely two-inches deep means it can be sited behind a wall-mounted display.

With two surge-protected outlets, isolated input and output noise filters to cut out electromagnetic & RF interference that can cause A/V signal degradation, LEDs to show changing power conditions and a detachable power cord, the C2’s input breaker can cope with up to 15A of current and has indicators to show if your electrics have been incorrectly-wired.

It’s available now.
