5Works great with all APC Battery backups.Jan 07, 2009
By Randy D.
This is a great product. Plus it works with all APC UPS's, and does not void any warranties on your APC UPS. It is nicely designed so you can plug in lots of things, including large power bricks. I have even used the mounting holes on the back with cable ties, to mount it to racks and shelves. This product could be made even better if it had a 12 or 15 ft power cord instead of 6 ft.

5High quality surge protectorSep 07, 2008
By rhody2442
My company uses many APC products and would recommend to anyone to get this surge protector. This surge protector (pro8) has a very high rating and is great for anyone with a home office. It has a total of eight outlets which includes three outlets for "brick" type plugs. These three outlets will help you avoid blocking other outlets with oversized plugs (router, phone, and speaker plugs).

2Poor APC quality - a little surprising...Sep 12, 2011
By kenmalecki
Let me start by saying that I'm an electrical engineer, and fairly good mechanically. I've always thought of APC as one of the better companies, that resisted the incessant march to lower costs and resulting poor quality. But it looks like that's no longer true. I bought 3 APC PRO8 Professional Surge Protectors over the past few months, and I'm very dissatified with the quality. And if APC can't make a simple surge protector anymore, it makes me wonder about the other APC products.

One of the three APC PRO8 Professional Surge Protectors was OK, and two were defective right from the start - not a good ratio. And from the nature of the problem, I'm guessing that a lot of others are defective as well.

I took all three apart (they are put together using screws), and here's what I found -
1) The contacts were too tight, not aligned with the plug slots, and weren't designed with wider openings at the front. So when a plug is pushed into a slot that is too far misaligned, the prong jams against the front of the contact, pushes it against the other buss, and causes a short.
2) The contacts were designed to meet the prong at a 90 degree angle, rather than 180 degrees like the better quality plugs. This makes them cheaper to manufacture, but prone to the jamming described in #1 above.
3) The solder points are very poor, with almost no solder on them. I was able to easily pull one of the wires off it's buss.

After straightening the contacts and resoldering all the solder points, the surge protectors are now working. But at $20, I'm thinking I shouldn't have had to re-manufacture them to fix what APC got wrong.

5APC Surge protectorMar 06, 2010
By Brian Banville "Bird"
I like that the APC PRO8 surge protector has a Plug and cord that are oriented 90 degrees to each other. The overall sleek design, really thin, of the surge protector is very good. Both of these items were important due to the location the surge protector was to be used in. It also has a nice design in that there are outlets that allow for the bulky plugs that are also the transformers.

5This APC PRO8 surge protector saved my 52 in hdtv and MAC computerJun 26, 2011
By D. Kinney "SuperMom"
I have never had anything like this happen to me before and I am leaving my fifties soon. The lights in the house had been flickering for awhile, over a period of a few weeks and I thought it was because it is so hot here. Well one night there was a huge crack and it looked like an electric bolt came out of the wall under my computer desk. The lights continued to flicker and I called the electric company. They came out the next day and found that the ground for the whole house, out at the street had completely broken off and we were having uncontrolled power surges. The problem was fixed and I am so relieved to report that my MAC PC and my HDTV are safe and sound. My poor APC PRO8 was killed in the horrifying power surges as it saved their lives. My biggest thank you APC for such a wonderful piece of technology. I am going to purchase 3 more before the Monsoons hit. Darcyinv4u
