compact but holds power bricks, protects expensive devices
I did not want battery based power backup, so this compact surge arrester is what I need to protect a large screen t.v., cable modem, router, wi-fi booster, sound bar, DVD player and a couple other devices. Its smaller size and weight means it fits easily behind my t.v., and its intelligent layout means the power bricks do not crowd out the smaller plugs. Its electrical rating is strong enough to cover all the devices I've plugged into it. You may have noticed this surge arrester also has input and output jacks for phone lines and antennae feeds.
You do need to add up the watts and amps for everything you will plug into any surge arrester, to be certain it will protect your devices. If your devices' total is very close to the maximum of a particular surge arrester, consider buying the next size up, for you never know if you will be adding another gizmo in the future that will need protection.
Add up the cost for all your devices, and think about what you would do while waiting for REPLACEMENT new ones if needed after they are damaged by a power surge.
The manufacturer being APC means this is a highly reliable device. CDW has a terrific price, and very good delivery, both of these aspects are what one expects from CDW.

Solid product. Good quality.
Solid power strip there. Seems very robust and is working well so far.
