The new world of AV digital convergence demands a suite of solutions that include a router & modem for IP Control, Access & Content.

The AV550SC addresses problems that are encountered when designing AV systems that now include a router & modem.

The AV550SC uses a reset / recycle button with 60 second outlet delay for proper sequential re-boot of the router & modem, this allows for the modem to find it’s IP address first before the router re-boots. An all too familiar problem for when the service provider sends an anomaly down the pipe that causes the router & modem to freeze-up!

An Industry first the AV550SC provides a “safety net� by switching equipment to battery backup during a power anomaly, Sag, Outage, Disturbance or Swell.

In case of an extended power outage the Auto Restart feature reduces the need of onsite startup

Additional onboard 12VDC outputs help control the use of bulky transformers for a direct connect solution.

Other features include Surge / Spike protection, EMI/RFI filtration, 550VA-300watts-Battery Backup, 3 transformer spaced outlets-4 total, 2.2 HD coax and Phone protection. Visual LED indicators for proper grounding, on/off, low battery and overload, Front outlet labeling configurable, all in a compact form factor to seamlessly integrate within any system or structured wiring design. more
