Eaton CSC36AC 36-Device AC Charging Cart for Laptops
Overview :
The Eaton CSC36AC is a mobile charging cart designed for organized charging and storage of up to 36 laptops, Chromebooks, or similar devices. It is deployed by IT operations, educational technology teams, and facilities engineers in environments such as schools, offices, healthcare facilities, and training centers where bulk device charging and secure movement are required. The unit solves the practical need for centralised AC charging with storage and mobility in scenarios with large device inventories.
This cart charges devices using 36 internal NEMA 5-15R AC outlets fed from a 120 V AC input via a 10 ft NEMA 5-15P cord, supporting a maximum combined power draw of approximately 1,440 W. Outlets are zoned and controlled by an integral timer that alternates charging zones, helping prevent simultaneous peak current draw that could overload branch circuits. An in-cabinet RJ45 port provides a pass-through for networking equipment such as hotspots or routers deployed inside the cabinet.
Mechanically, the cart features a steel enclosure with locking front/back doors, flow-through ventilation, removable baskets and integrated cable management, mounted on locking swivel casters for room-to-room mobility. A laminated woodgrain top serves as a work surface or mount point for peripherals like a monitor or projector.
Integration is simple: it is a stand-alone AC charging and storage solution without active network or power management beyond the timer. The RJ45 jack is a passive connection point for Ethernet-connected devices, not for wired management of the charging cart itself.
A typical deployment is a classroom or lab where teams cycle large groups of notebooks overnight or between sessions, with power distribution zoned to avoid branch circuit overloads. This cart is not suited for enterprise rack power distribution, managed PDUs, or environments requiring networked power metering or remote control × it is a logistics and power delivery appliance, not an IT power infrastructure component.
