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

Just the right amount of protection for my AV center (TV, audio, AV components). Good price and sturdy.

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.

The surge protector works just as intended, the design is very functional. One negative about is that the switch can be turned off VERY EASILY. You have to be careful to not turn it off accidentally. Otherwise its a well made surge protector.

Overall, I have a lot of confidence in the APC reputation. Their power related products all have great build quality and thoughtfulness behind it. This particular surge protector (8 outlets) is both thin and long and takes up very minimal space. The 6 foot power cord is also a good feature to have as it allows for various placements for different use cases. My only complaint about this surge protector is that it doesnt have built in slide covers to protect the outlets that arent in use. Ive appreciated this feature on other surge protector vendors like Belkin which help to protect against the household spills of liquid that happen from time to time within a household. I also somewhat wish that the on/off switch were on the side of the surge protector to prevent it from accidentally being switched on/off; I feel its a little more difficult to accidentally switch a surge protector on/off when the switch is on the side of the surge protector. just my opinion.

Im tired of these power strips that have a bunch of nonsense sockets on them. Thank you, APC.

Great surge strip also had different ports for big plugs

These are just about perfect! I like the flat plugs and the cable length. However, the green status lights are just too bright for my bedroom. I have these on each side of my bed to charge my phone and my laptop. I had to position the surge protectors so that half of them are under my bed because the status lights are just too bright!

I chose this because of the good reviews for protection of the expensive equipment that would be plugged in. I had ordered a different one and it arrived but after reviewing reviews and seeing the shape of it, we sent that one back because it would not work well with Apple products. This one works perfectly with the Apple products and we will keep it.

Reliably high quality. Their name still means something.

This is a great power strip. I bought it to power my entertainment system where my TV, Playstation 4, Soundbar and Fire Stick are plugged into this surge. I was able to use the mounting holes on the back of the strip to mount it to the wall behind the television for a super clean hidden wire install. I especially like the sideways plugs that allow me to plug in power bricks without losing an outlet in the process. The USB charging ports are nice since I am able to power my Fire TV.
