Product description
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 provides 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 products offer the maximum level of protection, safety, convenience, and reliability the industry has to offer.
Product features
- 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. - 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.
