APC Surge Protector, White Power Strip PH8W, 2160 Joules, Flat Plug, 8 Outlet Power Strip

We had a huge power surge, and all the equipment was protected.

I got a new iMac and wanted to use my old Mac Pro tower for music recording. I wanted something small to plug a number of things into, including my Mac. This was the perfect fit. Does the job and has a small footprint.

Fortunately I pugged a lamp into the outlet strip, because after 14 months the bulb started flickering, changed bulb, and bulb still flickered, I listened closely to the outlet strip and heard it making a slight crackling sound and it also had a faint electric odor. The bulb informed me the unit was delivering bad electric to my sensitive equipment. Now I am worried about the other 3 I bought, keep or trash them too?

This was a very nice surge protector they want $40 at Home Depot this was only $21 it was a great by would repurchase again

Este articulo es de excelente calidad. Ademas permite tener 8 equipos conectados sin que sea complicado enchufar algunos de ellos. Tiene un botón de encendido/apagado con lo que te permite proteger aun más los equipos

Everything checks out, but I feel like had the switch were moved to the side, you’d have more room for another socket. Or, have room for those bigger power plug.

I have always used APC power strips they offer great protection for electrical equiptment. You cannot go wrong.

Outlets are accessible and 3 of them are spaced well apart from one another for bigger plugs. Weak charge on the USB ports is my only complaint.

One of the common flaws of single width strips is the inability to accommodate more than 1 adapter unless you want to waste the sockets as the adapter obstructs/covers the adjacent sockets. This one has 2 rows with sockets at 90 degrees. As such, adapters face outward and do not obstruct adjacent sockets. Well made and sturdy, typical of APC quality. Hopefully the surge protection wont be tested but gives you peace of mind to know that all plugged in devices are protected. I have it mounted under my office desk using the mounting holes at the back. Great value for the money.

Its APC, it trust it with my high end electronics. Will update if fails. All my battery back-ups at work are APC, I havent really tried anything else. I probably wont. Thanks APC!
