Its cascaded protection system combines multiple technologies to protect both AC power connections and signal connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAC power-line protection uses a thermally protected metal-oxide varistor (TPMOV) for line-to-neutral protection. For secondary surge events, the MPC500 uses Gas Discharge Tubes (GDT), Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) thermistors, and Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) components to protect Ethernet, coaxial, and other low-voltage connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MPC500 also provides electromagnetic interference (EMI) filtering and over\/under voltage protection. If incoming voltage moves outside acceptable operating limits, the rear receptacles are switched off to protect connected components from operating under potentially damaging conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MPC500 is available with eight Type B receptacles or four Type F receptacles. Receptacle operation can be configured using the rear-panel Power Control ports or front-panel setup menus. The front-panel display can show input voltage, current draw, or total apparent power, while the black glass front panel, illuminated logo, control knobs, and aluminum end caps maintain traditional McIntosh styling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAC power line surge protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-voltage secondary surge protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermally protected metal-oxide varistor (TPMOV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGDT, PTC thermistor, and TVS secondary protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectromagnetic interference (EMI) filtering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver\/under voltage protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtection for Ethernet, coaxial, and other low-voltage connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 8 AC receptacles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfigurable receptacle operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront-panel voltage, current, and apparent-power display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMcIntosh Power Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOutput Voltage:\u003c\/b\u003e Type B: 120 V AC nominal; Type F: 240 V AC nominal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePower Requirement:\u003c\/b\u003e Type B: 120 V, 50\/60 Hz, 12 A max., 1,440 W max.; Type F: 240 V, 50 Hz, 6 A max., 1,440 W max.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAC Power Line Protection:\u003c\/b\u003e Thermally protected metal-oxide varistor (TPMOV) for line-to-neutral protection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSurge Suppression Type:\u003c\/b\u003e AC power line: thermally protected metal-oxide varistor (TPMOV); secondary surges: GDTs, PTC thermistors, TVS components\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Receptacles:\u003c\/b\u003e Type B: 8; Type F: 4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlways-On Receptacles:\u003c\/b\u003e Type B: 2; Type F: 1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProgrammable Receptacles:\u003c\/b\u003e Type B: 3 pairs; Type F: 3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions (H × W × D):\u003c\/b\u003e 6\" × 17-1\/2\" × 19\" (152 × 445 × 483 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 18.5 lb.
