APC SurgeArrest Professional Pro7

APC SurgeArrest Professional Pro7.

Overview

The APC SurgeArrest Professional Pro7 is a seven-outlet surge protector manufactured by APC (American Power Conversion).

The documented example is a 2017-manufactured unit bearing serial number 7Z1714L05335. The surge protector features seven grounded outlets, diagnostic indicators for surge protection and site wiring faults, and a rocker-style power switch.

Documented Example

  • Manufacturer: APC
  • Product Family: SurgeArrest Professional
  • Model: Pro7
  • Serial Number: 7Z1714L05335

Physical Description

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.

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.

The cord-entry end incorporates a resettable push-button circuit breaker and 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 of the PRO7 incorporates two keyhole-style mounting slots for wall or under-desk installation.

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 documented example was manufactured in the Philippines during 2017.

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 PRO7 utilizes a six-foot SJT-rated power cord terminated with a right-angle grounded attachment plug.

Cord markings identify the cable as a 14 AWG three-conductor cord rated for 300 volts and 60°C operation.

Both the attachment plug and power cord carry I-SHENG manufacturing markings and associated UL and CSA approval markings.

The underside incorporates two keyhole-style mounting slots that permit installation in either horizontal or vertical orientations.

The PRO7 utilizes a right-angle grounded plug. Unlike many modern low-profile plugs designed to direct the cord downward, the PRO7's plug orientation causes the power cord to exit toward the grounding-pin side of the attachment plug. When used with receptacles installed in the grounding-pin-up orientation, the cord initially exits upward before bending downward.

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.

Collection History

The documented example was acquired by the OldSurge Archive in September 2026 as part of a lot containing twelve APC SurgeArrest Professional surge protectors representing multiple models and production dates.

Condition Upon Acquisition

The documented example was acquired as part of a lot containing twelve APC SurgeArrest Professional surge protectors.

The unit exhibited light dust accumulation and cosmetic wear consistent with normal use. The surge protector was cleaned prior to detailed documentation and photography.
