I SWEAR by APC power protection products. The SurgeArrest 12's, (and 11's), work perfectly, and protect computers, TVs, and ALL other sensitive electronics from surges and brownouts.
(From experience...) DON'T use with APC Battery Backups!!! I found out the hard way on this! As stated by APC Support, (from back when I called them for warranty support on a UPC Battery that went bad, prematurely), the APC Surge Strips CAN, (and often do), 'mask' the overall load on an APC Battery Backup unit. Instead, just use plain power extension strips, (no surge protection), in conjunction with APC Battery Backup units.
Otherwise, you can utilize APC SurgeArrest Strips ANYWHERE you want to protect sensitive electronics.
I HIGHLY recommend the APC SurgeArrest 12 Surge Protection Strips. (And the 11's.) APC makes EXCELLENT products. You can depend on them.

It works. However, there's a lot of light coming from the green led, and it's coming out of a strip of plastic and it's basically impossible to block. I wouldn't recommend this in a bedroom.
Caractéristiques : Les informations que je vous donne sont absentes du site du constructeur, du manuel et d'Amazon, il s'agit du VPR inscrit sur le produit lui-même.
Voltage Protection Rating = LN 330V LG 400V NG 400V. C'est le minimum requis pour avoir une bonne protection des appareils en cas de surtension même si les ordinateur et la télévision ont une protection de base contre la surtension (mais cette protection de base des appareil s'enclenchera largement passé 400 V pour un courant de AC120 V max) alors je préfère toujours avoir le Voltage Protection Rating le plus bas possible car je tiens à mes appareils ainsi qu'un minimum de 3200 joules.
Pour l'instant sa durée de vie est acceptable (car une fois le voyant vert éteint, le produit est bon pour la poubelle car la protection n'est plus assurée), en ce qui concerne les performances protectrices en cas de surtension, elle a connu deux avis de tornades avec des coupures de courant.
prix acheté TTC : 57.48$ (livraison gratuite)

UL and MET approved so, it is safe. Life warranty. Good for 4320 joules surge arrest performance. WOW!!!
Made in China. The cable is 6 foot and there is a switch at the end on the top. As soon as it plugged in the wall there is a green back plate that will illuminate telling you the power is on, no guessing.
12 receptacles 110 volt and 2 USB port 2.4 amps.
As all APC product, they are made with attention. 4 holes in the back to be attached with screws.
My buddy at the cottage almost had a fire due to a cheap power bar. So I decided to change all of mine. I will have to buy 1 more.
Don't take any chance, buy this product you will not regret it.
2 day delivery with Amazon Prime, what more can you ask ?
