Eaton CSC45AC 45-Device AC Charging Cart

Overview :

The Eaton CSC45AC is a mobile AC power charging and storage cart designed to consolidate, power, and safeguard up to 45 AC‑powered laptops, Chromebooks, and tablets. Not a UPS or surge protector, it is field‑deployed by IT operations, education technology teams, and device management administrators to centralize charging and secure devices between use cycles.

This unit provides 45 internal NEMA 5‑15R outlets delivering up to a combined 1 ,440 W at 120 VAC, with a 10 ft (3.05 m) NEMA 5‑15P input cord and built‑in circuit breaker protection. A timer alternates power between color‑coded outlet zones to help mitigate overloads during heavy device charging.

Physically, the CSC45AC is a lockable steel mobile cart with three shelves, flow‑through ventilation, and removable baskets for adapter storage. Rugged swivel casters and bumpers allow repositioning across classrooms, labs, clinics, or offices.

The cart integrates with standard AC infrastructure (120 V, 60 Hz) and supports Ethernet peripheral connectivity via an in‑cabinet RJ45 pass‑through jack for routers or wireless hotspots. Dual external NEMA 5‑15R outlets supply auxiliary power for a projector or display at a staging area.

A practical deployment example is a school IT closet where 45 student Chromebooks are charged overnight and rolled to instructional spaces each morning, with cords managed and adapters separated. The internal timer and breaker help avoid nuisance trips on typical 15 A circuits.

This cart is not intended for environments requiring uninterruptible power protection (e.g., regulated data centers) and should be avoided where battery backup or surge suppression beyond circuit protection is mandatory. It also does not include USB power ports or support for non‑AC adapters without additional hardware.
