| Why
should you use a Desktop UPS Power Protection?
A study by IBM shows that PC
equipment is subject to 120 power disturbances per month.
Blackouts and brownouts make up 93% of these power problem, which
a surge protector cannot protect against.
Power problems are the largest
cause of data loss (45.3%), 15 times more frequent than computer
viruses.
Power outages are the second
leading, and most preventable cause of computer downtime.
Availability is the largest concern
of system managers (45&).

Common questions
regarding surge protection:
What is a failsafe
operation? It means that if a large enough surge ever
damages the components of the surge protector, it will stop
letting power through to your equipment.
What is the
difference between Let-through and Joule Rating?
Let-through Rating is the amount of a surge that gets through to
your equipment; Joule Rating is the amount of energy the
components can absorb. UL's only measure of quality is the
let-through rating. NEMA and IEEE have discounted Joule
Ratings as a valid measure of performance.
What if I want to
protect other datalines or I have a surge but no telephone
protection? APC has a full line of dataline protection
products called ProtectNet for all of your other dataline needs.
Why do some surge
companies have such high insurance policies? APC has an
in-house claims process. Some of our competitors make you
deal with an insurance agency. These policies are set forth
by the agency. Most computers fall under the value of the
$2,500 EPP and, therefore, would be completely protected in the
case of a surge.
