ARCHIVAL IDENTIFICATION: Preserve exact model and regional suffix, nameplate, serial/date code, outlet map, manual revision and observed condition. Similar product-family names do not prove electrical equivalence.
Model specifications
| Manufacturer / exact model SKU | Furman M-8Lx. Verify full regional suffix and revision from the physical nameplate. |
|---|---|
| Catalog category / topology | Line conditioners — rackmount AC conditioner; automatic voltage regulator. No battery or stored-energy backup. |
| Input voltage / supported range | 120 V AC nominal North American supply; no voltage-regulation capture range is specified because this conditioner does not regulate voltage. |
| Output voltage / range | Nominal 120 V AC pass-through, tracking the source line. |
| Capacity / current | 15 A aggregate input/load rating. |
| Regulation / conditioning functions | Standard surge/spike protection and RFI/EMI noise filtration; dual pull-out rack lights. No AVR. |
| Outlets / connectors | Nine total: eight switched rear outlets and one front convenience outlet. |
| Response / continuity | Continuous pass-through/filtering with no voltage-correction or transfer event; suppression response timing is not stated in the cited summary. No battery backup. |
| Compatibility | Grounded 120 V rack equipment with aggregate current no greater than 15 A. This is distribution/conditioning, not voltage stabilization, isolation or UPS support. |
| Electrical safety / installation limits | Grounded supply required. Observe 15 A total limit, keep vents unobstructed and replace damaged cords/receptacles rather than using them. Do not defeat protective earth or daisy-chain strips. |
Service and archival notes
- Record the AC source, loaded current, connected equipment, observed voltage and test conditions separately from manufacturer-rated values.
- This is a conditioning/distribution appliance, not a UPS: it cannot maintain output through a mains interruption.
- Never open energized mains equipment. Quarantine units with damaged cords, overheated connectors, compromised enclosure or grounding, or evidence of liquid ingress.
- Use the exact regional manual/nameplate for connector, branch-circuit, mounting, grounding and load requirements; this static record is not an installation approval.
