WattBox WB-300-IP-3 3-Outlet IP Power Conditioner

Compact Managed Power for Small AV and Network Installs

This compact 3-outlet IP power conditioner is built for small but important devices that need surge protection, remote reboot control, and cleaner power management. It is a strong fit for routers, modems, streamers, smart home hubs, compact switches, NVRs, displays, and small AV or network gear.

The main value is control. When a device freezes or stops responding, you can reboot the right outlet instead of unplugging equipment manually or shutting down the entire setup. That makes this model especially useful behind TVs, inside cabinets, under desks, in conference rooms, and in structured wiring areas where access can be inconvenient.

Best Use Cases

• Behind-TV installs: Great for streamers, smart TVs, media players, small soundbars, and display-related devices.
• Small network setups: Useful for routers, modems, compact switches, bridges, and network support equipment.
• Security systems: A good fit for small NVRs, routers, or network devices that support a surveillance setup.
• Smart home systems: Helps manage hubs, bridges, controllers, and other small devices that may occasionally need a reboot.
• Conference rooms and media cabinets: Helps reduce simple service calls caused by frozen AV or network equipment.

Who Should Buy This?

This is a good choice if you need smart power control for a few critical devices and want something smaller than a rack-mounted power conditioner. It makes sense for homeowners, AV installers, IT companies, security installers, smart home professionals, and small businesses that want easier remote troubleshooting.

It is especially useful when the connected devices are important enough to protect, but the installation does not require a larger WattBox unit with more outlets.

Who Should Not Buy This?

This is not the right product if you need UPS battery backup. It provides managed power control, surge protection, and power conditioning, but it does not keep equipment running during a power outage.

It is also not the right choice for large AV racks, high-current amplifiers, heaters, laser printers, power tools, appliances, or systems that need more than 3 managed outlets. For those setups, a larger WattBox power conditioner or UPS-based power plan may be a better fit.

Compatibility Notes

• Outlet control: Includes 3 individually controlled outlets for device-by-device rebooting.
• Remote management: Supports OvrC remote monitoring, control, and troubleshooting when configured properly.
• Auto reboot: Self-healing auto reboot can help recover locked-up devices and reduce downtime.
• Surge protection: Provides 2160 joules of surge protection for connected AV and network equipment.
• Noise filtration: Helps reduce electrical noise for cleaner power delivery.
• Protection features: Includes Safe Voltage and thermal protection features.
• Compact size: Listed at 6.5" W x 1.75" H x 7.625" D for tighter installation spaces.

Installation Considerations

Before installing this unit, decide which devices should be controlled separately. A clean setup usually puts the most commonly reset devices on their own outlets, such as a streamer, router, small switch, smart home hub, or display accessory.

Labeling each outlet during installation is a smart move. It makes remote support much easier later, especially if the unit is hidden behind a TV, inside a cabinet, or under a desk.

If you need battery runtime during outages, pair the system with a UPS. This model is for smart power control, surge protection, and remote recovery, not backup power.

Why Remote Reboot Matters

Many AV and network problems are simple lockups. A streamer freezes, a router needs a reset, a smart home hub stops responding, or a small NVR loses connection. With individually controlled outlets, you can reboot only the device that needs attention instead of power-cycling the whole system.

That is where this product earns its place. It gives small installs a more professional recovery path without needing a full rack power setup.

Good Products to Pair With This Power Conditioner

• WattBox Power Solutions for compatible managed power and larger WattBox options.
• Power Management Solutions for surge protection, UPS backup, and power planning.
• UPS Battery Backup if connected equipment needs runtime during short outages.
• Surge Protectors & Smart Power Strips for simpler protection where IP control is not needed.
• Network Switches for small network and AV support systems.
• Network Recorders NVRs if this power conditioner supports a security camera system.
• Media Players for streaming, display, and AV source devices.

Need Help Choosing the Right WattBox?

If you are not sure whether 3 outlets are enough, send us the list of devices you want to connect. We can help you decide if this compact model is the right fit, or if you should move up to a larger WattBox power conditioner or UPS-supported setup.

Is this a UPS battery backup?

No. This is an IP power conditioner with surge protection and remote outlet control. It does not provide battery runtime. If you need devices to stay powered during an outage, use a suitable UPS with your power setup.

Can I control each outlet separately?

Yes. This model has 3 individually controlled outlets, so you can reboot one connected device without shutting down the others.

What devices is this best for?

It is best for routers, modems, small switches, NVRs, streamers, smart home hubs, media players, display accessories, and other small AV or network devices that may need remote reboot control.

Does it work with OvrC?

Yes. It supports OvrC remote management when connected and configured properly. This can help with outlet control, monitoring, troubleshooting, and reducing unnecessary service visits.

Does it provide surge protection?

Yes. This model provides 2160 joules of surge protection for connected AV and network equipment.

Is this good for behind-TV installs?

Yes. Its compact size makes it a strong fit for behind-TV, cabinet, under-desk, conference room, and structured wiring installations where space is limited.

Can I use this for a full AV rack?

Usually no. This model is better for compact systems with up to 3 managed outlets. For larger AV racks, choose a larger WattBox power conditioner with more outlets and better device separation.

Can I plug high-power devices into it?

No. Avoid heaters, power tools, large amplifiers, laser printers, appliances, and other high-draw devices. This product is intended for AV, network, smart home, and low-voltage electronics.

When should I choose a larger WattBox model?

Choose a larger model if you need more outlets, rack mounting, more device separation, UPS integration, or a more complete managed power setup for a larger system.
