Surge Protector Acar R8 POWER 1.5m 8‑socket with Flat Rear 16A

The Acar R8 POWER 1.5m 8‑socket surge protector with flat rear and 16A rating is a compact power distribution and protection device for home and office environments. It provides eight grounded sockets on a single unit with a 1.5 meter cable to reach wall outlets while the flat rear housing allows close placement to furniture and wall surfaces. The built‑in surge suppression protects connected equipment from transient voltage spikes while the 16A rating supports multiple devices such as computers, AV components and peripherals.

Advantages

The unit combines space-saving flat rear design with an extended eight-socket layout, enabling neat cable management and close placement to walls. Its 16A rating accommodates a range of consumer and office electronics without excessive derating. Integrated surge suppression limits the risk of damage from voltage spikes, and the 1.5 m cable length offers flexible positioning relative to the wall outlet.

Suitable for

• Desktop computers and workstations
• Home audio/video equipment (TVs, receivers, set-top boxes)
• Office peripherals (printers, monitors, routers)
• Chargers and small household electronics

Key specifications

• Number of sockets: 8 grounded outlets
• Cable length: 1.5 m
• Rated current: 16 A
• Design: flat rear housing for close-to-wall placement
• Function: surge suppression for transient overvoltages

How to use

Place the surge protector on a flat surface or mount it close to a wall so the flat rear sits against furniture or baseboards. Plug the unit into a properly grounded mains outlet and connect devices to the available sockets. Ensure the total current draw of connected appliances does not exceed the 16A rating. Do not connect the surge protector to another extension or multi-socket adapter. If the unit has an indicator for surge protection status, check it periodically to confirm ongoing protection.

Usage recommendations

Use the Acar R8 POWER for centralized power distribution of multiple low- and medium-power devices. Avoid connecting high-power appliances such as heaters or large motors. For optimal protection, replace the unit if surge protection indicators show degradation after significant power events, and ensure the wall outlet provides a reliable earth connection.
