I've been using it for a while now, but it seems to be excellent when I first started using it, and it feels good when I plug in my various equipment. I'll have to wait and see, but I'm very satisfied. I'm very pleased with the quality of the product.
good product easy to use and fast delivery as usual LDLC it's almost perfect I said almost !!!!
well designed, the sockets on 2 different sides are well functional and the gap between 2 - 3 and 3 - 4 is superior so very practical
I've connected some lightning plugs but they didn't last long enough at the switches even if you don't have to use it often. I'm waiting to see what happens with this one which is very practical with its 8 sockets.
The cable is long enough, and the spacing between the sockets allows plugs with transformers to be connected without worry.
For the protection against overvoltage, it remains to be seen how long it will last.
I have just replaced an old APC surge protector that had been protecting my system for eight years and was showing signs of failure, with this new model with more connections.
As it is the same brand, I hope it will protect my system with the same efficiency (lightning, which strikes the ADSL line, etc...)
I've had it installed for 2/3 months now, no worries, no proven electrical problems either, so we'll see with time.
Practical with the staggered sockets
Replaces an American brand power strip that blew my fuse when I had a short circuit on the switch
No problems with the appliances used (TV, TV box, Amplifier, DVD player, Game console, CD player, ...)
Fast enough delivery
Well packed (huge box for such a small product)
Multi-socket controlled to plug in tv, box, consoles & Co...
I was a bit puzzled by the arrangement of the sockets but in the end it is very efficient.
All the appliances, including those with transformer sockets, could be plugged in without any problem.
The green LEDs that confirm the correct operation are also very practical.
Good overvoltage protection for 8 APC sockets from Schneider Electric. The arrangement of the sockets is cleverly thought out. The 8 sockets are sufficiently spaced out to allow the connection of large sockets, chargers, transformers or others without encroaching on the neighbouring sockets. There are 8 sockets.
It is equipped with 3 LEDs. A green LED indicates that the surge protector is connected to an earth socket, a second green LED indicates that the surge protector is operational, and a third LED lights up red if the surge protector is overloaded. It is equipped with a circuit breaker in case of overvoltage. No fuse to change, just reset it after disconnecting the devices connected to the surge protector. Protection up to 2754 joules.
