Surge Suppressors/Protectors

Professional-grade Electrical Surge Protection for Computers and Electronics

Data line surges make up an overwhelming majority of all surge induced damages where the equipment was thought to be already protected but had a back door such as a modem line unprotected. Network interface cards, in particular, can be destroyed by relatively mild spikes.

According to Ethernet standards (IEEE 802.3), non-AC network electrical hazards include Direct contact between components and power or lightning circuits, static charge buildup on cables and component, high-energy transients coupled onto the local cabling system (those induced by other cables which are installed in the general proximity of network cables or lightning within a mile radius) and potential differences (even from building to building, between safety grounds to which components are connected.)

The APC SurgeArrestTM 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!
