It's built for AV integrators who need guaranteed surge protection at the panel level for a single room or branch — a smaller conference room, a single-rack install, or a dedicated circuit feeding sensitive AV equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoint-of-use surge protectors only cover what's plugged into them; a branch circuit device like the SX-20NE-RT protects everything downstream of the panel it's installed at. The SX-20NE-RT is configured for a single 20A\/120V circuit, making it the right-sized option when a full multi-circuit load center like the PF-420 is more capacity than a project needs — for example, a single dedicated AV circuit in a smaller conference room or huddle space. It's built in a NEMA magnetic shielding steel enclosure that meets code for installation at the service entrance, sub-panels, and inside ceiling plenums, a common requirement in commercial and government AV projects where the electrical contractor needs a listed enclosure. Advanced Series Mode surge elimination and power conditioning handle the electrical side: surge energy is eliminated at the source without producing the ground contamination or common-mode disturbances that come with older MOV-based protection. An all-mode, impedance-tolerant EMI\/RFI filter further cleans the circuit, which matters for audio and video signal integrity on circuits shared with switched-mode power supplies. Because the SX-20NE-RT protects at the panel rather than the outlet, it's typically specified during electrical rough-in on new construction or a room renovation, coordinated with the electrical contractor rather than installed by the AV integrator alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle-Circuit Branch Protection\u003c\/strong\u003e — Protects one 20A\/120V circuit from a panel-level installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNEMA Magnetic Shielding Steel Enclosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — Meets code for service entrance, sub-panel, and ceiling plenum installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced Series Mode Surge Elimination\u003c\/strong\u003e — Eliminates surge energy without ground contamination or common-mode disturbances.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAll-Mode Impedance Tolerant EMI\/RFI Filter\u003c\/strong\u003e — Reduces electrical noise on the circuit for cleaner AV signal performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHuddle room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConference room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernment space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial meeting space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-purpose room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable style=\"table-layout:fixed;width:100%;min-width:280px;\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:45%\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:55%\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSX-20NE-RT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Configuration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e(1) 20A \/ 120V circuit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Spec\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e(1) 20 Amp circuit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnclosure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNEMA magnetic shielding steel;
