Product Features
Technical Overview
This hardwired surge suppressor operates without traditional outlets, requiring direct electrical connection for permanent installation. It accepts input voltages of both 120V and 230V AC, accommodating standard North American and international power systems. The unit's design focuses on surge diversion rather than battery backup, making it ideal for protecting equipment from voltage transients while maintaining continuous power flow.
The suppressor's construction utilizes polycarbonate material for both durability and electrical insulation properties. With dimensions of 6.29 inches in width and 2.36 inches in height, it presents a low-profile form factor that minimizes space requirements during installation. The 3-pound weight reflects its solid construction while remaining manageable for mounting in various orientations.
This section brings together practical product details such as Receptacles, Input Voltage, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

Deployment / Use Cases
The hardwired configuration makes this surge suppressor particularly suitable for permanent installations where equipment protection must be integrated directly into the electrical infrastructure. It serves as an effective first line of defense against power anomalies in environments where outlet-based protectors would be impractical or insufficient.
Common deployment scenarios include server rooms, network closets, telecommunications equipment racks, and industrial control systems. The unit's compact dimensions allow installation in space-constrained locations, while its polycarbonate construction provides durability in both commercial and light industrial settings. The 10-year warranty offers long-term assurance for critical protection applications.
Commercial Infrastructure Protection
Ideal for protecting networking equipment, security systems, and point-of-sale terminals in retail, hospitality, and office environments where power quality directly impacts operational continuity.
Institutional & Government Applications
With TAA compliance and RoHS certification, this suppressor meets procurement requirements for educational institutions, government facilities, and healthcare environments where regulatory standards are mandatory.
Physical Profile
The suppressor features a low-profile design with dimensions of 6.29 inches in width and 2.36 inches in height, creating a compact form factor that minimizes space requirements during installation. Constructed from polycarbonate, the housing provides both electrical insulation and physical durability while weighing approximately 3 pounds for manageable mounting in various orientations. The hardwired configuration requires proper electrical connection rather than plug-based installation, making it suitable for permanent integration into electrical panels, equipment racks, or dedicated circuit protection points.
