APC PM6-RS

The American company ARS has a good reputation in the market of products for the protection of electrical appliances. Its products are known all over the world and are famous for their excellent performance. This model is no exception and provides maximum protection for various consumer electronics.

On guard for your technology

APC engineers have implemented protection systems against short circuits, voltage fluctuations and surges (the so-called lightning protection). There are also overload fuses and built-in varistors that dissipate heat when the case overheats, which prevents fire or melting in force majeure situations.

Each device has its own outlet

The case has 6 European standard sockets with grounding, which in total can withstand a load of 2300 W. Interestingly, they are located on the edges of the case, and not along, so the form factor is different from most analogs..

Keeps up to date

There are 3 LED indicators available. One reports that the device is working. The second glows when the extension cord has suffered critical loads and needs to be repaired. The third notifies that there are malfunctions in the general network of the building (for example, there is no grounding or there are short circuit areas) due to which voltage surges or similar problems are possible.

Reliable but not universal

Despite the good protection, this extension cord has its drawbacks. In particular, it does not have USB ports, which in the modern world can be critical.

Outcome

A fairly large case is not suitable for everyone, although the peculiarity of the location of the sockets slightly levels this fact. Otherwise, this is a high-quality and reliable surge protector.
