Always on Protection!

Awesome surge protector that provides a few "Always On" outlets so that these devices are always protected despite turning the rest of the outlets off when they are not needed. If this is something you need in a small office then definitely recommended!

May work for you, may not

Beware this product was designed back when computers used a lot more power than current computers. The auto-power feature can't reliably be activated by newer, lower power systems. I worked with techs at APC and in the end they weren't able to resolve the issue of my monitor turning off even when the computer was awake and operating.
