ARMAC ARC5 — 5 sockets, 10A, 1.5 m, black is a compact surge protector power strip designed to supply and protect several devices from a single mains outlet. It features five AC sockets arranged on a slim housing and a 1.5 m flexible power cord, offering basic overvoltage suppression and convenient cable reach for typical home and office setups. The unit is rated for a maximum current of 10A and provides an easy way to centralize power for computers, peripherals, chargers and audiovisual equipment.
Advantages
The ARMAC ARC5 combines a space-saving form factor with five grounded AC sockets and a durable 1.5 m cable, enabling neat power distribution without adding bulk. Its 10A rating is suitable for common household and office electronics, and the integrated surge suppression offers basic protection against short-duration voltage spikes. The black finish and low-profile design make it unobtrusive in most environments.
Suitable for
- Desktop computers and monitors
- Printer and scanner setups
- Charging multiple mobile devices and tablets
- Home audio and small AV components
- Small office workstations and peripheral devices
When it may not be suitable
The ARMAC ARC5 provides basic surge protection but is not intended for environments requiring advanced power conditioning, long-term industrial load handling, or protection against sustained overvoltage. It is also not suitable where higher current capacity is required; equipment drawing more than 10A in total should use a higher-rated power distribution solution.
Key specifications
- Number of AC sockets: 5
- Rated current: 10 A
- Cable length: 1.5 m
- Colour: Black
- Application: Indoor use for home and office electronics
How to use
Place the ARMAC ARC5 on a stable, dry surface close to a mains outlet. Insert the plug into a properly grounded wall socket and connect devices to the five AC sockets as needed, ensuring the combined current draw does not exceed 10A. Avoid stacking heavy objects on the power strip and keep the cable clear of walkways to prevent tripping. If the unit shows visible damage after a surge event or wear, discontinue use and replace it.
What to consider before purchase
- Confirm the total current draw of connected devices does not exceed 10A.
- Check that five outlets meet your device count and spacing needs.
- Decide whether basic surge protection is sufficient or if advanced surge suppression is required.
- Consider cable length (1.5 m) for reach to your wall outlet.
Usage recommendations
Use ARMAC ARC5 for standard home and office electronics such as PCs, monitors, printers and chargers; for high-power appliances or mission-critical servers, choose a higher-rated or professionally specified power protection solution.
