Review: High Quality - After using APC UPS units, i thought i would try their Surge Protector products too. I have always used Belkin surge protectors, almost religiously. After seeing this surge protector advertised i cancelled my order for a Belkin unit and bought this instead. I am glad I did. The newer Belkin units have lost their magic, they no longer have rotating plugs for compatibility with bulky power supplies. So, onto this APC unit PM8-UK, it's a surge protector extension strip. It has a built in switch, an overload indicator LED, a Surge Protection LED and an Earth connected LED. Assuming it is the same as other APC units the Overload LED should be RED and should not be illuminated in normal use. The other two should be always illuminated green. If they are not then there is a fault that should be checked. It has 4 screw slots on the back to allow mounting in various orientations. I really like the design with 4 sockets on the front face and another 4 on the side at a slight angle. This means there is plenty of room when mounted, or on the floor/desk, for normal BS plugs on the side sockets and various bulky power supplies on the front sockets. It has a cable routing on the back side that allows for the supply cable to be neatly routed either side of the unit. The supply cable is 1.25mm^2 which is adequate and is the same as Belkin units. The plug is a high quality rewirable type with an ASTA marking and a moulded strain relief that looks identical to the Belkin Essentials series. As for the surge protection, this product is amazing. Assuming the protection ratings are comparable between manufacturers you are looking at 2754 Joules of protection for this APC unit. For comparison the Belkin Premium BSV804af2M 8 socket is only 900 Joules. The Belkin Essentials F9E600uk1M 6 Socket is only 476 Joules. The Masterplug range of basic surge protectors are only 370 Joules. It is worth noting the connected equipment warranty is full of terms, conditions, and requirements and must be registered as soon as you purchase the product to be valid. But this is par for the course for any of these surge protectors and you would always struggle making a successful claim. This product appears to be very high quality and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a premium surge protector. Always check your surge protector LEDs regularly, whether APC or any other brand, MOV based surge protectors do eventually die and lose their protection.
Review: Good quality, compact power strip - This APC surge arrest has plenty of ports and in a compact format which is ideal to sit on top of my desk and fixed with adhesive putty. It's markedly well made and the two USB ports are great for the occasional charging or to connect my desk fan during summer.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the joules protection rating?**
A: Dear Valued Customer,

Good day.

Kindly be advised that the Joules protection rating of PM6U-UK is 1836 Joules. You will be able to find this in the Specification Sheet on the link below:

Kind Regards,
Charisse

**Q: Are the usb fast charging?**
A: Given that modern devices charge at over 20w and these usb ports can only provide 12w, these aren’t fast charging. Look for minimum power supply of 18w, or even better get a USB C PD charger that will supply 30w+ if you want a measure of future proofing.  

The fastest phones charge now at 100w plus and Qualcomms latest QuickCharge 5 standard is also over 100w.

**Q: Are the twin USB ports live all the time or can they be switched off to save energy?**
A: Dear APC Valued Customer,


To answer your question, the USB ports should always be live as long as the unit is connected to your mains. However, USB ports don't consume power by themselves. Without anything plugged, they are just open-circuits and should not consume any energy.

I hope this helps.

Kind Regards,

**Q: Will this product reduce the electrical interference caused by a treadmill?**
A: Hi, just wondering whether this worked for your treadmill? I am having difficulties with my wifi turning off when I use my treadmill. Thank you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality, compact power strip

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bought more than half a dozen over last 3 years. Confident with safe power supply
*by K***L on 9 December 2023*

Firstly, I won’t take risk for my family and I have to get very high quality brand power extensions, as so many accidents over the world were related to bad quality and misuse of power extensions. This is not related to how many people used it and reviewed it. It’s all about it’s build quality, usability and durability, all contributing to its stability and hence safety. Therefore there are already not many brands I can trust in this aspect. Secondly even APC is now owned by Schneider, not all Schneider sub-brand extensions are good, and some with significant usability issues for me. However APC is just exceptionally wonderful quality. The body is sturdy, cable can run out on either side, plugging is smooth and feeling quite sleek! It’s like the different feeling of plugging a cheap or original Apple cable into a Mac or iPad, with that satisfying confirming yet smooth and crisp click. The switch is also very sleek and certainly bouncy sturdy. However I hope APC can release models with longer cables and make the body a bit thinner. Before that exist, this one is still the only one I’ll keep sticking and buying, also to replace the others in my home and workplaces.
