Question: Does this surge protector plug in directly into outlet ?
Document: This APC surge protector is well designed for use behind low-profile wall mounted LCD TVs. The dimensions are a little larger than a wall cover plate, but the thoughtful placement of the metal prongs on the back means that the APC does not extend above the wall plate. This is exactly what I needed because my wall mount bracket sits directly above the outlet plate. Love this surge protector.
This is a 6 outlet surge protected wall outlet extender; it mounts directly to the outlet replacing the faceplate. To me it's well worth the price for APC's surge prevention guarantee alone. I bought this one to protect a subwoofer in my family room. All my computers and my home audio system are protected by APC battery back ups.
But that brings me to one of my issues, I have a fairly large brick plug, that doesn't fit on here because it is mounted to the wall, and there are no plugs on the front or somewhere else that I could use, so I ended up with an extension cord off of the surge protector just so I could fit the large plug. Also this plug doesn't seem to fit flush to the wall where I have it.
The side mounted outlets are well spaced to fit any size plug (I was a bit worried about this). The unit fits flat against the wall and turns a standard 2 outlet fixture into 6 protected outlets. At this price they would be worth it to me even if they weren't surge protected.
I bought one for a new tv I mounted on the wall. I put this in my outlet next to where my wires come out of the wall. my wires are tied up so there are no more wires touching the floor. I liked it so much I bought a second one for my bedroom to go behind my dresser where my other tv is hanging. now I can mop under the dresser and not worry about the surge protector on the floor.
purchase two of these, they are a little bulky but works very well, I use one in my study for the (computer, monitor etc, keeps the cords neat and you can also plug most power transformers directly into the unit without blocking the other outlets.
I like having the side outlets so that the cords don't stick out farther than they have to.The only qualm I have is I wished it had dual plugs on the back and so 3 outlets are attached to each plug so that you can still use a switched outlet and a constant live outlet.
If you use it on outlets that are top wall switch controlled and the bottom are always live you will end up with all wall switch controlled or all always live outlets.Because of the bulk, you take the original screw out of the outlet face plate, plug this unit into the outlet and screw it into the wall. This works very well, but if you want to remove it you'll need to unscrew it. Can you remember where you put the original screw?
If you're looking for a slightly better then average surge protector and you don't have huge transformer plugs needing to be plugged in, go for it.
Easily the best wall mounted surge protector you can buy and APC's power protection warranty can't be beat.
Answer: Yes, it's really easy to install over the outlet cover. Just screw it and you're done.
