APC SurgeArrest Professional
APC SurgeArrest Professional
Overview
APC SurgeArrest Professional was a family of surge protectors manufactured by APC (American Power Conversion).
The SurgeArrest Professional product line provided surge suppression and power distribution for computer, networking, home office, and consumer electronics applications. Models within the family were available with varying outlet counts, cord lengths, and protection features.
The OldSurge Archive maintains multiple examples of APC SurgeArrest Professional devices representing several models and production dates.
Collection Acquisition
In September 2026, the OldSurge Archive acquired a lot of twelve APC SurgeArrest Professional surge protectors for preservation and documentation.
The units were shipped loose within a cardboard box without visible packing material or dividers. Despite the lack of protective packaging, the surge protectors arrived in their advertised condition and are being evaluated for documentation, testing, and possible teardown.
