APC 6-Outlet Surge Protector 1080 Joule with 25-Foot Power Cord, SurgeArrest Essential (PE625)

I use surge protectors with musical equipment, and previously I've had to get one with a short cord and use an extension cord. This APC 610 is going to be my new go-to unit. It's got the standard inline receptacles, a conveniently located switch, and a light that shows the surge protection is intact and working. Best of all is the generous ten-foot cord, just what I needed. You can't always get decent Joule ratings in these, but the 610 handles up to 1080 Joules, better than average for a plain and simple unit. I've never had to exercise the insurance that comes with these, but the limit of $50,000 in connected equipment seems extremely beneficial. I haven't opened the unit, but I envision the typical high quality surge protection components that would be inside, the hallmark of APC. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

This is a handy six-outlet surge arrester in a slim compact package. The ten-foot cord is handy if you need a medium length extension cord. Great for meetings where you need to hook up multiple devices where outlets are not necessarily handy, and surge protection to boot. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
