CyberPower P704URC1

Overall view of the CyberPower P704URC1.

Overview

The CyberPower P704URC1 is a seven-outlet surge protector incorporating integrated USB charging ports for portable electronic devices.

The documented example was purchased new from Woot.com and documented prior to entering service. It serves as a modern reference example within the OldSurge Archive.

Unlike many historic surge protectors documented by the archive, the P704URC1 incorporates dedicated USB charging capability and a contemporary consumer-oriented design intended to support both AC-powered equipment and mobile devices.

The retail packaging highlights 2,000 joules of surge protection, four USB-A charging ports, seven grounded outlets, and a four-foot power cord.

Physical Description

The CyberPower P704URC1 utilizes a white plastic enclosure with seven grounded outlets arranged in a single row.

A recessed RESET rocker switch and separate PROTECTED and GROUNDED status indicators are located near the power-cord entry point.

The outlet nearest one end of the enclosure is transformer spaced, providing additional clearance for oversized power adapters and wall-wart style transformers.

Two pairs of USB-A charging ports are integrated directly into the enclosure, with one pair located at each end of the unit. Each charging section is marked "2.4A USB."

The documented example utilizes a four-foot SJT power cord with three 14 AWG conductors and a low-profile right-angle grounding attachment plug.

The documented example was received with a removable protective cap installed over the attachment plug blades.

The attached power cord utilizes a low-profile right-angle grounding attachment plug intended to minimize clearance requirements behind furniture and equipment.

When connected to receptacles installed in the traditional orientation, the cord exits downward from the outlet. Receptacles installed with the grounding contact upward cause the cord to exit upward instead.

Packaging

The documented example was purchased new from Woot.com for $14.99 prior to entering service.

The shipment arrived in the manufacturer's retail box without an additional outer carton, packing material, or protective envelope. A UPS shipping label was applied directly to the retail packaging.

The surge protector was packaged loosely within the retail box without supplemental padding.

Despite the minimal shipping protection, the documented example arrived without visible damage.

The attachment plug was fitted with a removable protective cap when received. The cap protected the plug blades during shipment and retail handling.

The retail packaging advertises:

  • Seven grounded outlets
  • One transformer-spaced outlet
  • Two USB-A charging ports
  • 2,000 joules of surge protection
  • 5 V / 2.4 A shared USB charging output
  • Four-foot power cord
  • Keyhole mounting slots
  • Auto Shutdown (Safe Fail)
  • Low-profile plug
  • $200,000 connected-equipment guarantee
  • One-year limited warranty

The packaging identifies the device as designed in the United States and manufactured in Vietnam.

Notable Package Warnings

The retail packaging includes a California Proposition 65 warning indicating that the product may expose users to bisphenol A (BPA) and styrene (ABS).

The packaging also cautions:

"DO NOT install this device if there is less than 30 feet (10 meters) of wire between the electrical outlet and electrical service panel."

Additional warnings indicate that the device is intended for indoor use in dry locations and should not be used with aquarium equipment.

Testing

The documented example was tested for basic electrical operation and wiring integrity prior to entering service.

The P704URC1 was connected to power using its low-profile right-angle attachment plug.

Testing with a receptacle tester confirmed correct hot, neutral, and ground wiring. No open ground, open neutral, reversed polarity, or other wiring faults were detected.

The RESET switch successfully controlled power to all outlets.

When energized, both the PROTECTED and GROUNDED indicators illuminated, indicating proper grounding and an active surge-protection circuit.

Design Notes

The P704URC1 utilizes a low-profile right-angle attachment plug intended to reduce clearance requirements behind furniture.

When connected to receptacles installed with the grounding contact in the upward position, the power cord exits upward from the receptacle rather than downward. Depending on the installation, this may reduce some of the cable-management advantages typically associated with right-angle plugs.


Service History

The documented example was photographed and documented prior to entering service.

The unit serves as a modern reference example within the OldSurge Archive.

Teardown

The CyberPower P704URC1 enclosure is secured using multiple Phillips-head screws and can be opened non-destructively.

The upper housing contains molded outlet barriers, mounting structures, reinforcement ribs, and supports for the outlet-contact assemblies.

The lower housing contains the outlet-contact assemblies, internal wiring, USB charging circuitry, surge-suppression circuitry, and associated control electronics.

Power distribution is accomplished using stamped brass bus bars running the length of the enclosure. The transformer-spaced outlet is integrated into the same bus-bar system as the remaining outlets.

Unlike many older surge protectors documented by the OldSurge Archive, the P704URC1 utilizes multiple printed circuit boards.

A dedicated circuit board located at the transformer-outlet end of the enclosure contains the USB charging electronics. Inspection revealed a compact switch-mode power-supply design incorporating a transformer, electrolytic capacitors, and discrete filtering components.

A second circuit board located near the power-cord entry point contains the RESET switch, surge-suppression circuitry, Auto Shutdown (Safe Fail) circuitry, and the PROTECTED and GROUNDED status-indicator circuits.

The USB charging board was removable and documented from both sides. The control board remained installed in the enclosure during documentation and was not removed in order to avoid damaging the assembly.

The indicator LEDs are mounted beneath the control board and extend through openings in the enclosure.

The internal design separates the USB charging electronics from the surge-suppression circuitry, reducing component crowding and allowing each subsystem to occupy its own section of the enclosure.

Inspection of the documented example revealed no signs of overheating, contamination, manufacturing defects, or shipping damage.
