	The APC SurgeArrest Professional ~~Pro7~~ utilizes a two-piece plastic enclosure consisting of a rounded upper housing and a flat outlet section containing seven grounded receptacles.		The APC SurgeArrest Professional PRO7 utilizes a two-piece plastic enclosure consisting of a rounded upper housing and a flat outlet section containing seven grounded receptacles arranged in a single row. The enclosure features the distinctive curved profile used on many APC SurgeArrest Professional products of this period.

	A rocker-style power switch is located near the cord-entry end of the enclosure. ~~Two~~ status indicators ~~provide information regarding~~ surge-~~protection status~~ and ~~site~~ wiring ~~faults~~.		A rocker-style power switch is located near the cord-entry end of the enclosure. Adjacent to the switch are two status indicators: a green '''Protection Working''' indicator that reports the status of the surge-suppression circuitry and a red '''Site Wiring Fault''' indicator intended to alert users to certain building-wiring conditions.

	The cord-entry end incorporates a resettable push-button circuit breaker and molded strain relief for the attached power cord.		The cord-entry end incorporates a resettable push-button circuit breaker and a molded strain relief for the attached power cord.

	The ~~enclosure features a distinctive rounded profile characteristic of APC SurgeArrest Professional models produced during this period~~.		The underside incorporates two keyhole-style mounting slots. The slot arrangement supports installation in either horizontal or vertical orientations, providing flexibility for wall, desk, cabinet, or under-bench mounting.

	The ~~underside of~~ the ~~PRO7 incorporates two keyhole~~-~~style mounting slots for wall or under-desk installation~~.		The documented example bears serial number '''7Z1714L05335'''. Unlike many consumer surge protectors, APC assigned individual serial numbers to units within the SurgeArrest Professional product family. Based on APC serial-number decoding information published in connection with the APC SurgeArrest recall program, the documented example was manufactured in 2017. The unit was manufactured in the Philippines.

	~~A dedicated serial~~-~~number label identifies~~ the ~~documented example~~ as ~~serial number 7Z1714L05335~~. ~~Unlike many consumer surge protectors, APC assigned individual serial numbers to units within~~ the ~~SurgeArrest Professional product family~~.		The PRO7 utilizes an approximately six-foot SJT-rated power cord terminated with a right-angle grounded attachment plug. Cord markings identify the cable as a three-conductor 14 AWG cord rated for 300 volts and 60°C operation. Both the attachment plug and power cord carry I-SHENG manufacturing markings together with UL and CSA approval markings.

	~~The documented example was manufactured in the Philippines during 2017.~~		Unlike many modern low-profile plugs designed to direct the power cord downward, the PRO7's right-angle plug exits toward the grounding-pin side of the attachment plug. When connected to receptacles installed in the grounding-pin-up orientation, the cord initially exits upward before bending downward.

	The manufacturing year of the documented example was determined from the serial number in accordance with APC serial-number decoding information published in connection with the APC SurgeArrest recall program.

			The suppression circuit board bears a 2009 American Power Conversion copyright marking. While the documented example was manufactured in 2017, the marking indicates that the underlying circuit design was developed no later than 2009 and remained in production for several years.

			A molded date-code wheel visible within the enclosure appears to indicate manufacture of the housing components in January 2017, consistent with the serial-number-derived manufacturing year.

			== Testing ==

			The documented example was tested for basic electrical operation and wiring integrity.

			A receptacle tester indicated correct hot, neutral, and ground wiring throughout the surge protector. No open ground, open neutral, reversed polarity, or other wiring faults were detected.

			The rocker switch successfully controlled power to all outlets.

			During testing, the green '''Protection Working''' indicator illuminated, indicating that the surge-suppression circuitry remained operational.

			The red '''Site Wiring Fault''' indicator remained unlit when connected to a properly wired receptacle.
