An archived APC website captured in November 1999 documents the company's surge-protection product lineup and illustrates the breadth of the SurgeArrest family near the end of the 1990s.
Documented product families included both the professional-oriented SurgeArrest Professional series and the consumer-oriented SurgeArrest Personal series, indicating that APC marketed multiple tiers of surge-protection products during this period.
The archived page includes SurgeArrest products intended for residential, notebook-computer, rackmount, international-voltage, and surge-suppression applications, as well as related protection products including ProtectNet and PowerManager.
