Product Overview
The Panamax M2A20 is a direct plug-in surge protector rated for 20-amp circuits, providing two protected AC outlets for equipment connected to NEMA 5-20 outlets. Its compact, wall-mount form factor eliminates the need for a power strip while delivering Panamax's Protect or Disconnect surge suppression technology.
Product Description

The M2A20 plugs directly into a standard 20-amp wall outlet (NEMA 5-20R), providing two protected side-mounted outlets — one 15A and one 20A — for AV equipment, computers, or other sensitive electronics. With 1,350 joules of surge energy dissipation and a peak impulse current rating of 52,000 amps, it handles significant transient events including lightning-induced surges. Panamax's exclusive Protect or Disconnect circuitry completely severs power to connected equipment in a catastrophic surge event rather than allowing a degraded or compromised protector to pass damaging voltage. Three diagnostic LEDs — Protection OK, Ground OK, and Line Fault — give continuous visual confirmation of the AC outlet's status. The thin profile at 1.5 inches deep keeps the M2A20 unobtrusive at the wall. Available at Creation Networks with a lifetime product warranty and $5,000,000 connected equipment protection policy.
