I bought this to replace a similar product from the same maker that gave some trouble after 8 years of good service. I'm happy with electrical or electronic equipment that lasts beyond 5 years. All APC products that I have exceeded that. I have a larger unit for my multi drive, dual monitor system.

This item worked exactly as expected. I live in an area where the power flickers and goes off and on a lot. I have me telephone/answering machine, and my clock/weather radio attached to it.

I bought one that has 8 outlets. It's convenient and doesn't take up much room. It gives me peace of mind knowing that my things won't crash without a backup battery. Easy to follow first time instructions.

Simply glorious. It works perfectly, has saved me several times and is as close to plug'n'play as can be imagined. Compact but with 8 power sockets and protection for modems, it sits under the desk and just works.

I use APC to protect my computer and TVs here in Florida and never had problems. I do have a question on the BE550G data protection. The documentation says RJ45 10/100 Base-T Ethernet protection, does this include CAT6 gigabit? Thanks
