APC SurgeArrest Professional PRO7 (4Z0842P07546)

APC SurgeArrest Professional PRO7 (4Z0842P07546).

Overview

The APC SurgeArrest Professional PRO7 is a seven-outlet surge protector manufactured by APC.

The documented example bears serial number 4Z0842P07546 and was manufactured in September 2008.

Unlike the 2017 APC PRO7 specimen documented by the OldSurge Archive, this example exhibits substantial enclosure yellowing while remaining complete and operational.

Physical Description

The APC SurgeArrest Professional PRO7 utilizes a rounded upper housing and a flat outlet section containing seven grounded outlets.

The documented example exhibits significant yellowing of the enclosure. Areas surrounding several receptacles have retained noticeably lighter coloration where plugs appear to have remained installed for extended periods.

The pattern of discoloration suggests:

• One two-prong device occupied the outlet nearest the end opposite the power-cord entry.
• Multiple grounded three-prong devices occupied the adjacent outlets.
• The outlet closest to the power-cord entry appears to have remained unused, as its surrounding plastic exhibits discoloration similar to the rest of the enclosure.

The yellowing pattern provides a visual record of long-term usage and aging.

Unlike the underside of the enclosure, which has largely retained its original color, the upper housing exhibits significant yellowing. The difference may be attributable to environmental exposure, ultraviolet light, heat, or differences in the plastic formulations used between the upper and lower enclosure components.

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

Condition Upon Acquisition

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

The enclosure exhibits significant yellowing, accumulated dirt, and cosmetic wear consistent with long-term use and storage.

The yellowing is primarily concentrated on the upper housing. The underside of the enclosure has retained much more of its original color, suggesting that environmental exposure played a significant role in the discoloration.

The unit was cleaned prior to detailed documentation and photography.

Physical Description

The documented example exhibits substantial yellowing across most exposed enclosure surfaces.

Areas adjoining several outlet positions have retained noticeably lighter coloration. The pattern appears consistent with long-term occupancy by plugged-in devices. The outlet nearest the end opposite the power-cord entry appears consistent with prolonged use by a two-prong device, while several adjacent outlets appear to have been occupied by grounded three-prong plugs. The outlet nearest the power-cord entry appears relatively unused.

The resulting discoloration pattern provides a visual record of long-term usage and environmental aging.

The PRO7 utilizes a right-angle grounded attachment plug intended to sit close to the wall surface.

When used with modern receptacles installed in the grounding-pin-up orientation, the plug directs the power cord upward before it bends downward. While the arrangement remains functional, it is somewhat less convenient than more modern low-profile plug designs that direct the cord downward immediately upon exiting the receptacle.

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 three-conductor 2.08 mm² (approximately 14 AWG) cord rated for 300 volts and 60°C operation.

The power cord appears to have been manufactured by Baohing and carries both UL and CSA approval markings.
