Eaton CSC16AC 16-Device AC Charging Station Cabinet
Overview :
The Eaton CSC16AC is a stationary multi-device charging station and secure storage cabinet designed for consolidating power and organization of multiple AC-powered devices. It is commonly deployed by IT engineers, educators, and facilities teams in environments where centralized charging and security for mobile equipment is required.
This unit provides 16 NEMA 5-15R AC outlets within a locking steel enclosure, allowing individual device power adapters to plug in directly. The total available charging power is up to approximately 1,440 W (16 outlets × 12 A), with a built-in circuit breaker for overload protection. The 10 ft (3.05 m) input cord with a NEMA 5-15P plug facilitates flexible placement relative to wall outlets.
The CSC16AC is deployed in education, corporate offices, healthcare facilities, and commercial spaces such as schools and retail where groups of laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, and similar devices need simultaneous charging and secure storage. Its steel cabinet and locking doors help prevent device theft and tampering while flow-through ventilation supports heat dissipation during charging cycles.
Integration of this charging station into IT deployments is straightforward: it operates on standard North American single-phase 120 V AC and uses common AC power adapters for connected devices. The unit can be placed on the floor, mounted to walls, desks, counters, or use optional cart accessories for mobility. Removable dividers allow accommodation of different device thicknesses.
A practical deployment example includes a classroom IT closet where 16 student laptops or Chromebooks are stored overnight and charged reliably for next-day use. Cables and adapters are managed behind closed doors, reducing clutter and accelerated device turnover. The locking mechanism ensures devices remain secure in shared spaces.
This station should not be used as a primary power distribution solution for IT racks or servers; it is intended for AC charging of client devices and does not provide surge suppression, UPS functionality, or per-outlet switching. Avoid deploying it in environments requiring networked power management or where equipment power adapters exceed the recommended amperage or outlet configuration.
