SKU CH-1YET-MV8SE

A wall-mount surge protector with four rotating AC outlets and two USB ports delivering 3.4 A of charging power, rated at 1080 joules of surge protection

  • 1080 Joules surge protection shields connected devices
  • Four rotating AC outlets fit bulky plugs easily
  • Two USB ports deliver 3.4 A total charging power
  • Fail-safe mode cuts power after a surge event
  • Building-wiring fault LED warns of circuit problems

Four rotating AC outlets and dual USB charging

The APC SurgeArrest Essential provides four rotating AC outlets and two USB ports that share 3.4 Amps of charging power. It is designed for home or office users who need basic surge protection for computers, monitors and mobile devices. The unit mounts directly on a wall outlet without a cord. It suits anyone wanting a compact, all-in-one power strip with built-in USB charging.

1080 Joule energy rating defines the protection

The protector absorbs up to 1080 Joules of surge energy before it sacrifices itself. Once that capacity is reached, fail-safe mode disconnects connected equipment from the power supply so no further surges pass through. EMI/RFI noise filtration reduces line interference. A building-wiring fault LED warns of dangerous circuit problems, but the device cannot protect against sustained over-voltage or direct lightning strikes beyond its rated energy.

Direct wall mounting with rotating outlets

The unit plugs straight into a standard wall socket and the four AC outlets rotate to accommodate bulky adapters. No tools or wiring are required. Installation fails if the wall receptacle is loose, recessed or lacks a proper ground, because the wiring-fault LED will stay lit and protection will not activate. The USB ports share a single 3.4 Amp circuit, so charging two high-draw tablets simultaneously may be slower than expected.

Questions about this item

Which outlet count and USB port combination suits a desk with a monitor, router and two phones?

This model provides four AC outlets and two USB ports sharing 3.4 A total, so you can plug the monitor and router into the AC sockets while both phones charge from the USB ports.

What does the 1080 J rating mean for everyday spikes?

The 1080 joule rating indicates the total energy the protector can absorb before it must be replaced; it handles typical household surges from appliances cycling or distant lightning strikes.

How does the 3.4 A USB output limit real-world charging?

The two USB ports share a 3.4 A maximum, so a single device can draw up to that amount while two devices split the current between them.
