Review on ⚡️ APC PH12 Surge Protector Power Strip: 2160 Joules, Flat Plug, Black - High-Performance 12 Outlet Power Cord Strip by Marcus Rash

Revainrating 1 out of 5

BTR, not like before! Not useful for fast charging

Two different fast chargers show different mAh values at different connections on the bar. Sometimes it's just 200mAh and some go as high as 1400. Rarely do I see it over 2400. I plug them into the wall, instant fast charge at 2400. The other two strips, which are ten years old, have no problem fast charging my devices . I would take a different brand. This piece will be sent to the garage as it is out of the return window. UPDATE 08/25/21: What a surprise. This is the only splitter I have that doesn't work with my new UPS. It just won't turn on. Even some 10-20 year old strips from "Staples" work fine. I called the UPS company (Eaton) and they said there was no problem plugging surge protector strips/devices into the UPS when the load is below max (despite the ill-informed "electricians" on the internet). This is a top of the range pure sine wave UPS. What a joke! Other reviews about very loose outlets are also very accurate. That's always been a problem with this strip. There is NOTHING left, they are just too big. Good luck with your wall mounting! Why does every "IT pro” love this brand? I don't care how good their corporate material is. My Eaton devices that I use at home work just as well as their company devices. APC has no excuse for manufacturing such inferior products. Chinese garbage.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Safety
