Upside down? I have used APCs on both raised and overhead. They have the ability to flip the text on the screen to so you can mount them cord up or cord down.

I know a lot of people push ServerTech products and I was once in love with them. Then came the management module issues that I had. I literally had atleast 1 power strip management module stop working each week. I had to tell our sales guy to send us 10 standby modules that we could swap out at any given time. The modules arent supposed to be hot-swappable but we had no choice. On one occassion, however, I was replacing a module in a live strip and the entire strip went dark. Customers were not happy; neither was I!

Also, I was really turned off by the price of the servertech strips. I believe we were paying $1,000 per strip back in the day. APC released their strip for $370.


Just my $.02
