"A surge protector can restrict, or "clamp," voltage across the three legs between these components: L-N, L-G, and N-G. This model offers 330 volts (V) of clamping across the main line-neutral leg, the most critical place to block surges. It has 400V clamping across the two grounded legs. While protection remains active, the APC model bathes the word "protected" in green light. When the MOVs eventually fail, the light will go out and power will stop flowing to the AC outlets. (Oddly, these clamping voltages can't be found in the manual or product page, but are "printed" in black-on-black tiny molded type on the unit's underside.)"

Warning… The edge lights up in green… Very bright green… I had to cover up the edge of mine with black electrical tape because the room was so brightly lit up.

Look through the Amazon reviews searching for the words "bright", "light", or "green"… Might not bother you, but you should be aware…
Nope, this was covered in the last thread. It's 330. Molded right into the plastic
Bought 2 last time. Can confirm that clamping voltage is 330, 400, 400.

Quote from snowcrash :
These generation of kids don't know any older established companies that specialize in what they sell. They only know tech companies that are the fad of the moment. APC, Tripp Lite, etc and they go "who are these companies and can they be trusted? I rather go with Anker that is a new company with no history in making surge protectors because it looks pretty."

To be fair, this older, established company in question has been bought out and moved their production to the Philippines, so a little hesitation might not be a bad thing.

Btw Eaton, the company that owns Tripp-Lite, is one of the UPS makers that says it's ok to put a surge protector before a UPS:
Of course they do
You have to firstly protect your service point to premise ...overlooked by many
Eaton has several options

If so, its incorrect
Upstream SPD first at service entrance and cascade to whatever ...so a UPS follows as last in the line

Should you actually wish to learn for yourself, as opposed to slippery deals nonsense
A simplistic primer from folks that know what they are doing:

Then google:

So, not being an EE myself, broadly speaking, what kind of device, if any, should I put between the outlet and UPS, to protect against the worst case likely strike or surge? I rent and have no access to where power enters the building or ability to know what's there protecting downstream devices let alone to install anything that might beyond a wire to ground, which I assume exists because my understanding is that code requires it. I unplug everything during electrical storms but can't always do this when away from home and a sudden storm appears. Or is it such a low probability thing as to not be worth worrying about?
