APC SurgeArrest P8U2 - Surge protector - AC 104-126 V

It actually is a good surge protector, it kept my Alienware PC Safe during a storm a couple of weeks ago when I was terrified that having the power surging on and off would destroy it.

Dell desktop

It is an excellent computer and a solid upgrade. We had a 15 year old that still worked but it is now obsolete, but guess what? It?s a Dell as well. These computers never quit. I love Dell. It arrived in less than a week and was packed perfectly. Easy set up. Thanks Dell!!

Excellent Product!

I have purchased similar surge suppressors with prior computers and I typically by the newer version each time a computer is purchased. This APC Surge Suppressor was easy to setup and use. It is a good product and I would recommend.

Great brand and product for basic electronics!

APC has always impressed me with their build quality and warranty. Fortunately, I?ve never had to make a claim on a electrically damaged product using APC. I use these for TVs, console games, and laptops.

Good design

Really like the design of this product and that the wall plug is flat to the wall, instead of sticking out like most plugs

Best Surge Protector I've Owned

It hasn't been put to the test of protecting my computer against an electrical surge (although I hope it never is but the design is excellent. I love the usb ports and the outlets are spaced far apart from one another that I'm actually able to use them all unlike on many power blocks. Each outlet also has a shield you can slide over it when not in use to protect against dust. Big fan!

About American Power Conversion (APC) SurgeArrest 8-Outlet Surge Protector with 2 USB Charging Ports

FEATURED REVIEWS

Quality product - Surge protector and high-speed USB charging

By Sunny

This is a great quality product works as described. The high-speed USB charging works great for iphones. I have a nice setup - wall mounted below the table.

Nice for the price!

By David

A nice surge protector. I especially liked the compact size and alternately positioned outlets. It's exactly what I needed.

American Power Conversion (APC) SurgeArrest 8-Outlet Surge Protector with 2 USB Charging Ports

The SurgeArrest 8-Outlet Surge Protector by American Power Conversion (APC) prevents electrical power-surges and spike damage to all eight (8) of its power outlets. It also has two USB ports for charging USB-enabled devices like smartphones, tablets, cameras, powerbanks, and external battery packs. It also protects these USB outlets from power-surges. The APC Surge Protector has a surge energy rating of 2630 joules, as well as safety shutters that protect users from unwanted contact. It has an EMI/RFI noise filter that protects A/V connections from electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. These filters help maintain consistent audio-video quality as well. The SurgeArrest also has Ground OK LED that lights up when dangerous connections or wiring problems occur. It also has a 180-degree rotating cord with strain relief that lets users position the SurgeArrest and manage the cords and cables connected to it conveniently. Keep your connected electronics safe from power spikes and wiring problems using the SurgeArrest 8-Outlet Surge Protector.

Power disturbances such as surges, lightning and power grid fluctuations can have a devastating impact on the valuable electronics you rely on every day. The APC SurgeArrest P8U2 provide guaranteed protection from damaging power surges and spikes. As one of the world's largest and most respected power protection designers and manufacturers, APC is relied upon daily for power protection and availability. SurgeArrest Home/Office and Performance products offer the maximum level of protection safety convenience and reliability the industry has to offer.

• Charge and protect smartphones, tablets, cameras and all other USB-enabled devices via 2 USB ports
• Guaranteed surge protection through multistage suppression circuitry ensures protection for life
• Quality A/V experience - EMI/RFI noise filter protects from electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, specifically valuable for maintaining audio-video quality
• Surge Protection LED illuminates when the SurgeArrest is switched on and supplying conditioned utility power to the outlet
• Ground OK LED warns of potentially dangerous wiring problems in the wall circuit
• Flexible rotating power cord & right angle plug for added ease of placement

180 degree Rotating Cord Retainer
A 180-degree rotating cord with strain relief offers flexibility in positioning the SurgeArrest and in routing the power cord.

Adjustable Cable Management
Keeps cords and cables neat and organized.

Building Wiring Fault Indicator
This LED informs users of potentially dangerous wiring problems in the wall circuit.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Receptacle Shock Safety Shutters
Shutters protect users from accidental contact with unused outlets.

Resettable circuit breaker
Easy recovery from overloads; no need to replace a fuse.

Right Angle Plug
Plug angle allows for equipment and furniture to be placed closer to the wall than with a standard power cord. Reduces cord stress too.

Transformer Block Spacing
Connect bulky transformer block plugs without covering up other outlets.

Overload Indicator
Indicator illuminates when connected equipment draws more power than unit's capacity. To remedy the condition, unplug less vital 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.

Phone Line Splitter
Allows use of two pieces of equipment at once, such as a modem and phone.
