Yes, the M4320-PRO features eight individually controllable rear outlets. You can manage power to each outlet remotely via BlueBOLT or through the front panel controls.
BlueBOLT allows you to monitor and control your power settings remotely over a network. It is particularly useful for rebooting locked-up equipment or scheduling power cycles without needing to be physically present at the rack.
No, the M4320-PRO is designed specifically for AC power management and filtration. It does not include surge protection ports for coaxial or Ethernet connections.
The three isolated filter banks prevent noise interference from traveling between connected components. By separating high-current devices from sensitive audio/video gear, you ensure cleaner power delivery and better overall system performance.
