The APC 6-Outlet Essential SurgeArrest Surge Protectorfrom APC 6-Outlet Essential SurgeArrest Surge Protectorhelps prevent damage to your equipment that can result from electric power surges and spikes. It features six NEMA 5-15R outlets that draw power via its NEMA 5-15P plug with a nominal input voltage of 120 VAC @ 50/60 Hz. It can tolerate a maximum input and line current of 15A, as well as a maximum input power of 1200W and a surge energy rating of 1080 joules.

SurgeArrest 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. If still under warranty, APC will then replace your damaged SurgeArrest free of charge.

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 is equipped with a fail safe, meaning that once the circuit of an APC SurgeArrest has been compromised, the unit disconnects equipment from the power supply, helping to ensure that no damaging surges reach your equipment.

SurgeArrest components such as MOVs and thermal fuses help ensure an instantaneous reaction to lightning strikes and wiring faults. If the surge components are damaged due to a power spike or over voltage, excess power cannot reach your equipment. Other surge suppressors continue to let power through even after circuits have been damaged, leaving your equipment exposed to other damaging surges.

Recovering from overloads is user-friendly with no need to replace any fuses.

Attenuates EMI/RFI line noise that can cause data errors and keyboard lockups, helping to ensure improved performance of protected equipment.

APC surge protectors undergo stringent testing by the 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 performance with a let-through rating of less than 330 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.

Q: 1. Do the individual outlets rotate? From the photo it looks like they have some range of angle

A: They're a little stiff, but yes, they do rotate.

Q: 2. will this work internationlly (240V)?

A: Unfortunately, no. APC Essential surge protectors only support an input voltage of 104 to 126V. The switch and internal components are only rated for 125V. I would suggest using a surge protector designed for the country its being used in. You could also just use a basic power strip (no surge protection or circuit breaker).

Q: 3. Where is it made ?

A: Thank you for your interest in our products. The country of origin is China.

Q: 4. Does it have mounting provisions?

A: The APC Essential SurgeArrest Rotating 6-Outlet Surge Protector with 5V 3.4A USB Ports (Black, 120V) BH #APPE6RU3 has wall-mounting holes located on the back of the surge protector.

Q: 5. APC states that you can plug a PDU into the back of their UPS units. While not called a PDU, can this be plugged into an outlet on the back of an APC UPS?

A: Yes, you can plug the APC Essential SurgeArrest 7-Outlet Surge Protector (6', Black, 120V) in some UPS units. However to ensure compatibility the exact model would be required.
