SurgeX SX-1120-RT Rack Surge Eliminator Power Conditioner 20A 120V

SurgeX SX-1120-RT is a 20A rackmount surge eliminator and power conditioner that protects mission-critical AV and IT racks with non-sacrificial Series Mode surge protection, inrush control, and voltage shutdown.

Built for high-performance racks where uptime matters, the SX-1120-RT is designed to eliminate surges without the wear-out behavior of traditional MOV-based protectors. It also adds EMI/RFI filtering, inrush current elimination, and automatic voltage shutdown, so your gear stays protected during dirty power events, startup spikes, and extreme line conditions.

Why installers choose SurgeX SX-1120-RT

• Advanced Series Mode surge protection eliminates surges up to 6,000V without degrading over time.

Quick guidance

Confirm you have a proper 20A, 120V circuit available for the rack and plan which devices must stay always-on versus switched. Use the always-on outlets for networking and control gear, and the switched outlets for source and display equipment. If you are protecting high-inrush loads, ICE helps, but proper circuit planning and clean cable management are still key for long-term stability.

1. What is the difference between surge elimination and a regular surge strip?
   Surge elimination is designed to clamp and remove surges without sacrificing protection after repeated events, unlike many basic strips that can degrade over time.
   
2. Is this meant for a rack or can I use it in a media room?
   Both. It is rack-mount friendly for AV and network racks, and it also works great for home theater or control gear where stable power matters.
   
3. What should I plug into it for best value?
   High value electronics like switches, routers, AV receivers, amplifiers, control systems, and NVRs, basically anything you want protected and stable 24/7.
