About American Power Conversion (APC) P3U3
FEATURED REVIEWS
great - black version
Have both colors, these surge protectors are a great value and product. I really appreciate having the light that tells me if the device is still protecting my stuff. Once a surge protector has absorbed enough surge(s) it will no longer function. Many more expensive surge protectors don't have an indicator light for when they have completed their duty and no longer functional.
Super convenient protection in black
These things are really convenient providing three outlet surge protection and three usb ports as well as a slot to set your smart phone while you're charging it! So cool! The green accents look especially slick on the black color version as well.
The APC SurgeArrest Essential product family represents the minimum level of surge protection that should be present on all of your computers and household electronics. State of the art circuitry protects sensitive electronic equipment against dangerous power surges and multiple surge events. The P3U3 model offers 3 surge protected outlets and a 1080 joule rating. In addition, 3 surge protected USB ports alleviate the threat of a surge or spike destroying your smart devices while they charge. The P3U3 also has a built in smart device charging stand, "Ground OK" wiring fault indicator and 6 foot power cord. Finally, APC's lifetime product warranty and equipment protection policy guarantees customer peace of mind!

Marketing Features
Protection Working Indicator
SurgeArrest will warn you if its circuitry has been damaged by heavy strike or power line surge and it is unable to provide 100% protection. If still under warranty, APC will then replace your damaged SurgeArrest free of charge.
Resettable circuit breaker
Easy recovery from overloads; no need to replace a fuse.
Fail Safe Mode
Most other surge suppressors continue to let power through even after their circuits have been damaged, leaving your equipment exposed to future surges. APC's SurgeArrest fail safe, which means that once the circuit of an APC SurgeArrest has been compromised the unit disconnects equipment from the power supply ensuring that no damaging surges reach your equipment.
Data-line Protection
Protection of data lines (Ethernet, Coaxial and Phone lines) ensures complete protection of your equipment from surges. It is very important to protect your equipment from "back door" electric surges traveling through data lines, as they can be as damaging to your equipment as surges traveling over power lines.
Lightning and Surge Protection
To prevent damage to your equipment from electric power surges and spikes.
Safety
Fail Safe Mode
Most other surge suppressors continue to let power through even after their circuits have been damaged, leaving your equipment exposed to future surges. APC's SurgeArrest fail safe, which means that once the circuit of an APC SurgeArrest has been compromised the unit disconnects equipment from the power supply ensuring that no damaging surges reach your equipment.
Catastrophic Event Protection
SurgeArrest components such as MOVs and Thermal fuse ensure instantaneous reaction to lightning strikes and wiring faults. If the surge components are damaged due to power spike or over voltage, excess power cannot reach your equipment. Unlike the APC SurgeArrest products, most surge suppressors continue to let power through even after circuits have been damaged, leaving your equipment exposed to other damaging surges.

Protection
Lightning and Surge Protection
To prevent damage to your equipment from electric power surges and spikes.
Noise Filtering
Attenuates EMI/RFI line noise that can cause data errors and keyboard lockups, ensuring better performance of protected equipment.
IEEE let-through ratings and regulatory agency compliance
APC surge protectors undergo stringent testing by IEEE and are awarded "let-through ratings", which indicate the maximum voltage level that can possibly reach your equipment after a surge or voltage spike has passed through an electric surge protector. Lower IEEE let-through ratings indicate better protection and performance. The APC Essential SurgeArrest series offers optimal performance with a let-through rating of less than 330V to 500V for North American products and a rating of less than 15% for products sold worldwide. All APC products comply with local agency safety requirements, including UL in North America and CE/Kema/Gost/C-tick/A-Tick/Telepermit in their respective regions.
Safety-Agency Approved
Safety-Agency Approved means the product has been tested and approved to work safely by a third-party Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL).
Lifetime product warranty
Lifetime product warranty ensures customer peace of mind. The P3U3 will warn you if its circuitry has been damaged by a heavy strike or power line surge and it is unable to provide 100% protection. APC will then replace your damaged SurgeArrest free of charge.
