Furman M-8x2 Merit Series 8 Outlet Power Conditioner & Surge Protector
The Furman M-8x2 Merit Series 8 Outlet Power Conditioner is a low-cost AC power solution for rack mount systems. Install an M-8x in the top slot of your rack, and the eight switched AC outlets in the rear panel will power up and protect all your equipment, up to a 15A load.
M-Series conditioners protect your delicate electronic equipment by combining high voltage varistor (MOV) surge and transient suppressors. The fast-acting suppression circuit quickly responds, and clamps transient voltages to safe levels. An RFI/EMI interference filter works to prevent noise from fluorescent lights, certain dimmers, radio transmitters, and similar sources of "electronic pollution" from contaminating the AC line, and from there leaking into sensitive audio, video, or computer circuits.
- The rear outlets have been spaced to accommodate even the bulkiest of wall warts and adapters.
- A circuit breaker is provided on the rear panel. If the total load on the power conditioner (combining all outlets) exceeds the 15A (or 1800W) limit, the circuit breaker will trip. It can be easily reset by pushing in a button.
- The M-8x2 has a convenient master switch for the rear outlets which glows when the power is on.
- Standard level filtration from radio frequencies and electromagnetic interference.
- Operating Voltage: 90 to 140VAC
- Black painted steel chassis.

Comments about Furman M-8x Merit Series 8 Outlet Power Conditioner & Surge Protector:
Although I have not had a surge come along to test it's protection, I am assuming that it will, in the least, provide a relief for anything connected to it. The best thing about this one is that it is so light that it does not add anywhere near the weight that my old conditioner did, the monster pro2500. Not as spiffy, but arguably little difference in most situations.

Comments about Furman M-8x Merit Series 8 Outlet Power Conditioner & Surge Protector:
As a basic need, this model is the cheapest power conditioner that I am willing to subject my equipment to. It adaquately satisfies that need, which is to provide 8 outlets of relatively conditioned power to a rack and provide a means of organization.
The outlet on the front of the unit is crucial for me. It makes plugging in external hard drives, laptops, or even phone chargers an easy endeavor. However, I do wish that the power button lit up like the older lines used to though.
Overall, it does what it's supposed to do with reliability and simplicity.
