Power strip Acar F5 — 1.5 m cable, 5 outlets, surge protection

Acar F5 IEC is a compact surge-protected power strip from the Acar product line. It uses an IEC 60320 C14 appliance inlet and a slow automatic fuse, making it suitable for professional and home use while minimising maintenance. The unit has five grounded outlets, a 1.5 m cable fitted with a C14 computer-style connector and a housing made of self-extinguishing plastic. It is appropriate for connection to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and provides basic overvoltage protection for connected equipment.

Advantages

The Acar F5 IEC offers five grounded outputs with child safety shutters, a backlit power switch with power presence indication, an automatic time-delayed slow-blow fuse and four possible cable inlet orientations for flexible installation. The self-extinguishing plastic housing and ergonomic black design ensure safe, compact use while the C14 inlet and 1.5 m cable make it compatible with UPS and professional setups.

How to use

Connect the Acar F5 IEC to a mains socket with a protective earth using the supplied 1.5 m cable and C14 connector. Plug devices into the five grounded outlets and use the illuminated power switch to turn the unit on or off. The built-in slow-blow fuse provides time-delayed overcurrent protection; replace the fuse only with an identical type if required. Ensure correct orientation of the inlet according to the available mounting option.

Recommendations

Device must be connected only to mains sockets with protective earth (grounding pin). Technical data indicate maximum surge values against which the device provides protection.
