APC Power-Saving SurgeArrest P7GT Power Strip
Introduction:
APC, a long time empire of battery backups and surge protection, releases a brand new idea in the realm of power strips - a power strip that knows when your computer is turned off. This allows you to save money on your electric bill since a scanner, printer, or monitor won't be in use. APC was generous enough to send us the Power-Saving SurgeArrest Essential P7GT for testing. Let's check it out!
APC's Take:
"The Power-Saving SurgeArrest not only safeguards your equipment from damaging power transients, it also helps lower your electric bill. "Master/Controlled" outlets are designed to detect when your computer is asleep where it then automatically powers "off" connected peripherals to prevent wasteful power consumption."
Features (from APC.com) :
| Building Wiring Fault Indicator | This LED informs users of potentially dangerous wiring problems in the wall circuit. |
| Noise Filtering | Surge Protector 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. |
| 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. |
