In a statement to the press, Schneider Electric Global Product Marketing Christian Enriquez said that gaming gear contains rather highly sensitive electronics and unclean power not only results in game disruption, but can even damage equipment. Enriquez added that “at the end of the day – it’s not if, it’s when.” Take team games for example, in order to win, teamwork is needed. One quality that team members should have is reliability. With this unit, Enriquez went on to say that it “helps you stay in the game and be there for your team when they need you most.”
