SURGEX Defender Power Protection – Advanced Series Mode Surge Eliminator, 20A, 2x NEMA 5-20R, Wall/Rack Mountable

For IT professionals, AV integrators, and facility managers protecting critical electronics, the SURGEX Defender Power Protection Model SX-DS-1611I goes beyond conventional surge suppressors. It employs Advanced Series Mode® technology to continuously eliminate surges rather than sacrificing themselves after a single event. This robust unit is ideal for server racks, broadcast equipment, medical devices, and home theatre systems where even minor power fluctuations can lead to expensive downtime or data corruption.

Why Choose It

Unlike traditional surge protectors that divert energy to the ground and lose capacity with every hit, the Defender Power Protection eliminates surges in real-time using series-mode circuitry. This means no sacrificial components, no degradation, and an unlimited surge life. It also actively prevents ground contamination and filters electrical noise, ensuring your equipment receives cleaner power and operates more reliably. The compact design fits easily into tight spaces while offering flexible mounting options.

Ideal Use Cases

• Protecting high-value electronic equipment in residential or commercial AV systems
• Securing network closets, NAS drives, and servers against power anomalies
• Use in medical, laboratory, or industrial settings where clean power is essential
• For telecommunication equipment that requires consistent uptime

Good to Know

The unit features a 20A thermal circuit breaker for overload protection, dual LED diagnostics for power and protection status, and a 6-foot heavy-duty power cord. It can be placed on a shelf, mounted to a wall, or installed in a standard 19-inch rack using an optional kit (not included). Because it is non-sacrificial, it requires no replacement parts or service after a surge, saving you both money and hassle over the product's long lifespan.
