  excellent

  APC being, a brand of Schneider electric I said to myself that it should be good material! Well yes very good very very good in fact, I suffered 2 storms well that I have this multi-socket and once lightning fell on my building and the lead of the multi-socket jumped (so saved my setup). I rearmed the multi-socket and everything was nikel as if nothing had happened.
  
  I highly recommend

  Excellent

  This is a very good power strip. The power cable is of high quality, as is the plastic of the socket block, which appears to be very high quality and hard-wearing.

  Made in China HS 7 months later

  I bought this power strip in February 2023. 7 months later, it's making a crackling noise and the LEDs are flashing. It has ended up in the bin. The fact that this APC Schneider equipment is made in China is a serious blow to the brand's reputation.

  I use it everywhere

  The product ordered suits me perfectly, it is solid with a large power cable and a correct number of plugs.

  does the job that is expected of him

  Works very well, takes up a lot of space but looks solid. The only negative point is that the led is too strong.

  Perfect

  A brand known for its reliability, the rear fixing holes for hanging behind a piece of furniture are well thought out, in short a quality product.

  Confidence-building product

  I wanted to change an old power strip whose plastic was peeling. First attempt with a new unbranded Chinese power strip: a 16A fuse blows as soon as you flip the switch on the power strip. After researching with an ohmmeter, I realised that it was the power strip itself that was shorting out as soon as I plugged a plug into it! That's why I ordered this power strip with an APC surge protector and a Schneider Electric circuit breaker, and now there's no more problem, my installation works well and is protected.

  Simple and effective

  - Bought it to protect my PC and its screen (UHD TV), sound system (5.1), DVD/Blu-ray player... etc... from any electrical attack (or surge).
  This product does its job well, and it showed its capabilities just 2-3 days after its arrival, so I am very happy with it.
  
  - The positives :
  1.83 meter cord; 10 A input breaker rating; surge suppressor and filtering; EMI/RAI rejection (100 KHz to 10 MHz) 40 dB; surge energy rating 918 Joules; a technical manual; the quality of the plastic (seems to be solid over time); a groove under the block to run the wire out left or right.
  
  - The negative :
  Nothing at the moment.
  
  - In short, it is a product that seems solid and reliable, with a good quality/price ratio.

  Aesthetic and ergonomic.

  Purchased to prevent any electrical attack or surge against my PC power supply, screen and internet box.
  The reputation of the Schneider Electric brand attracted me, the 918 Joules indication superior to its competitors, a technical notice presenting the surge spikes which can deviously harm the electronics of our devices, and finally the beautiful presentation, the quality of the plastic material decided my choice. Now it's like a bet on future accidents.

  Simple and aesthetic

  Bought for the electrical protection of some appliances, the 5 sockets are enough for me. One of them is offset and allows the connection of 'big' transformers without disturbing the others.
  2 lights allow to check the state of the protection and the connection to the ground.
  Now, I'll have to see at the next storm ...

  Basic and effective protection

  Two lights, one for current, the other to indicate that the grounding is effective.
  Slot under the block to allow the wire to emerge on the left or right.
  A bit bulky, but does not include a fuse, if it blows just reset the switch.
  Do the job.

  Good

  True to the picture, does its job well, ground control as a bonus. The cable is not very long but correct, the plug is slightly bulky but not really annoying. I have not tested any other power strips, so I would recommend it.
