1989 brought the introduction of the award-winning PowerChute software which revolutionized power management; as well as product sales through two major distributors, Tech Data and Ingram Micro. In 1990, APC continued to introduce superior products such as the Smart-UPS line, now recognized as the industry's premier network power protection solution. That same year President and CEO, Rodger B. Dowdell, Jr., was named New England Entrepreneur of the Year by Inc. Magazine.
Throughout the 1990s APC entered other markets with 155 new products such as SurgeArrest surge protectors; Matrix-UPS, the industry's first modular UPS; a new generation of Smart-UPS; the company's first Back-UPS Pro models; and the Symmetra Power Array which revolutionized the industry with redundancy, scalability and serviceability in a single solution. These product developments, the opening of two international manufacturing facilities (Galway, Ireland in 1994 and the Philippines in 1996), as well as the acquisition of Systems Enhancement Corp. and Silcon A/S, drove APC's annual revenue above the $1 billion milestone in 1998.
In 2003, InfraStruXure debuted. It integrated power, cooling, racks, management and service into an open, adaptable and integrated solution and won nearly 20 awards worldwide. The TravelPower Case he world's first case with built-in device charging abilities was also introduced with immediate success. The InfraStruXure line was expanded in 2004 with cooling systems and on-site power generation. That same year, APC won more than 100 awards throughout the world for its products and business excellence. Building on the success of PowerStruXure from 2002, APC expanded its overall NCPI offerings after acquiring Netbotz, an early stage tech company that worked to solve the physical security of IT equipment, and allowed APC to extend industry expertise into the management and security categories.
On February 14, 2007, APC was acquired by Schneider Electric, a multinational European corporation known globally for its expertise in energy management and automation. This led to the establishment of the Critical Power & Cooling Services (CPCS) Business Unit, which now includes the APC and MGE UPS Systems brands.

Not all are the same.
Power strips and surge protectors (also called surge suppressors) are different. Typically, power strips are cheap, multi-outlet products that are merely an expansion of a wall outlet. These usually have a circuit breaker of some sort, but most don't offer any real "protection" from electrical issues.
It's all about the joules.
Surge protectors offer protection in amounts called joules. Think of this like a reservoir of protection. If a product has 1,000 joules of protection, that means it can take ten 100 joule hits, or one 1,000 joule hit. Generally, the more joules the better.
Always get more outlets than you need.
You're always going to need more outlets. You'll undoubtedly add more gear, without necessarily getting rid of your current gear. I'm not saying that if you think you need 4 outlets get a 12, but a 6 is probably a good investment.
Power spikes can come over any wire.
If you want total protection, consider that phone and cable lines can carry power spikes too. Some surge protectors have connectors for these as well.
They don't last forever.
Remember the joule rating we discussed earlier? Well, it means that over time, a surge protector is going to wear out. Some will give you a warning when they do. Many won't. If you know you've had a serious electrical event (like lighting blew out a transformer down the street), it's probably worth replacing your surge protector just in case.
An insurance policy...on your stuff.
Some surge protectors offer a warranty (up to a certain amount) on the gear connected to the protector. For example, in the US, one model has a $300,000 Connected Equipment Warranty
What should Surge protectors protect?
- Wireless networking equipment (routers, modems)
- Computers / Servers
- Televisions
- Security systems
- Gaming consoles
- Mobile devices
There are several benefits to using a surge protector:
Protects against power surges: Power surges can be caused by lightning strikes, power grid fluctuations, or other electrical events. A surge protector helps to protect against these surges, which can damage or destroy electronic equipment.
Prevents data loss: Data loss can occur when electronic equipment is damaged by power surges. A surge protector helps to prevent this from happening by protecting against voltage spikes and surges.
Extends equipment lifespan: When electronic equipment is subjected to power surges and voltage spikes, it can shorten the lifespan of the equipment. A surge protector helps to extend the lifespan of electronic equipment by protecting it from these types of electrical events.
Saves money: Replacing damaged electronic equipment can be expensive. A surge protector can help to save money by protecting against damage and the need to replace equipment.
Convenience: Using a surge protector can be more convenient than unplugging and re-plugging electronic equipment during a power surge.
I've been an IT consultant for most of my life and one of our mantras is -fast, good, and cheap. you never get all three!- Somehow CompSource does it. I'd ordered a portable air conditioner from two other vendors and both strung me along and finally cancelled my order *after* charging me since they apparently couldn't either manage stock or suppliers properly. I eventually got my money back but I was worried up getting gouged with summer "on season" pricing. I found CompSource had a unit almost identical (different branding) and thought I'd give it one more try. To be honest it looked too good to be true. Price with shipping was over $100 less than the competition. I was shocked that it arrived almost as fast as I got the *tracking number*. I ordered on a Friday and got the FedEx tracking number on Monday from Rich Burson and had the unit Tuesday evening. This is a nearly 100lb 12K BTU beast that I would have expected to take at least a couple weeks to get. I sent a quick thank you email and who replies? The President of the company. Personally. Smart guy. I used to check Newegg first. Not anymore. Thanks! MikeMore Reviews
