APC AV C10 Home Theater Power Filter Review

[admin]

The APC AV C10 marks another well executed and no BS A/V power product from a company that is, in my experience, unparalleled in their collective knowledge of power protection and backup. With all of the major safety agency approvals (ie. UL, CSA, Part68, etc), 12 filtered and surge protected outlets, connections for cable TV, phone, ethernet and line voltage monitoring, the APC AV C10 is everything one could ask for in a power strip and more. I highly recommend this unit for anyone looking for a cost effective power filter solution with ample outlets and unparalleled reliability.

Thanks for the review. I actually just bought the smaller verison - the C5 (less outlets, otherwise the same I believe). I have not hooked it up yet, but it is a quality built, handsome unit - it'd be a shame to hide it!

I do have a question - which may or may not support my purchase decision.

Lights in my home dimm when the air conditioner turns on. Will this unit protect against that condition?

I have already purchase a breaker and 10/2 romex to run a dedicated line form the fuse box to my system - I'm hoping that "isolation" have help as well...

No you really need a product with line regulation like an H10 or H15. If you experience alot of brown outs, then I suggest an S15 with battery backup. I lose power momentarily almost daily and I have S15s and S20s running my entire home theater interruption free!

is there anything like this on a rack mount for about the same price?

concerning my A/C brown outs - are you aware of a suitable device I can ADD to my APC C5?
