APC Essential SurgeArrest 7-Outlet Power Surge Protector (1440 Joules, 15A 120V AC, 6ft / 1.8m Cord, Protection Working LED, Transformer-Spaced Outlets, Wall Mountable, Black)

Product Overview

The PE76 is an enterprise-grade 7-outlet transient voltage surge protector manufactured by APC by Schneider Electric under the SurgeArrest Essential series. Purpose-built for video surveillance monitoring consoles, network video recorders (NVRs), digital video recorders (DVRs), PoE network switches, security monitors, and sensitive IT workstations, this power strip safeguards connected electronic systems from high-energy lightning strikes, electrical grid surges, brownout recoveries, and disruptive electromagnetic noise.

Engineered for 120V AC (50/60 Hz) electrical networks with a full 15 Amp (1800 Watt) line capacity, the PE76 features an enhanced 1440-Joule surge energy rating. The outlet configuration includes six standard-spaced NEMA 5-15R receptacles plus one widely spaced transformer outlet, enabling technicians to connect bulky power adapter bricks and DC power transformers without blocking adjacent sockets. Incorporating an active "Protection Working" diagnostic LED, fail-safe catastrophic disconnect circuitry, multi-stage EMI/RFI noise filtration, an extended 6-foot (1.8-meter) heavy-duty grounded power cord, and rear keyhole mounting cutouts, the PE76 delivers dependable power conditioning and physical installation versatility for commercial racks, monitoring desks, and telecom closets.

Key System Features & Functionality

• 7 Grounded NEMA 5-15R Outlets: Powers and protects up to seven surveillance and IT devices simultaneously.

• Dedicated Transformer-Spaced Outlet: Engineered with extra clearance on one socket to plug in large DC transformer adapters without obstructing neighboring outlets.

• 1440-Joule Surge Energy Absorption: Delivers heavy-duty defense against transient high-voltage spikes, power line disturbances, and lightning discharges.

• "Protection Working" Diagnostic LED: Real-time visual indicator illuminates to confirm that internal metal-oxide varistors (MOVs) are active and actively protecting equipment.

• Fail-Safe Mode Disconnect: APC SurgeArrest circuitry permanently disconnects equipment from the AC utility line if internal surge protection is sacrificed, preventing subsequent unconditioned surges from damaging hardware.

• Integrated 15A Resettable Circuit Breaker: Master On/Off switch incorporates an internal thermal breaker that automatically trips during sustained overloads and resets with a single touch.

• Extended 6-Foot (1.8 m) Grounded Power Cord: Provides flexible routing reach from wall outlets to equipment consoles, workstations, or rack shelves.

• EMI/RFI Line Noise Filtration: Attenuates line interference and electrical hum, preventing video flickering, camera telemetry distortion, and system lockups.
