I just bought an APC Surge Arrest Personal w/Tel (PER7T) and I noticed
it says not to hook it up with an extension cord.  It doesn't say why.
Does anybody know?

I am hoping they just tell you that so you don't use a cord with too
low of an Amp rating because I need extension cords to make every
thing reach.

I also plan on having it plugged into a Best Power ME2.1k UPS rather
than plugging the UPS into it because the Surge Arrest has EMI/RFI
filtering.  I figure I want the shortest distance between it and the
CPU because the extra length of all the cords (not to mention the
transformers in the UPS) might re-introduce interference.
Am I correct in this thinking?

Any help appreciated.  Thanks.
