36-Unit Intelligent Netbook Cart
Product Overview
The NETBOOK36-CT cart features the same small 32" x 26" footprint as the NETBOOK42-CT flagship model but with wider 2.25" computer slots to accommodate both the netbooks and the extended battery packs frequently used to help lengthen their useable life in the classroom.
The NETBOOK36-CT incorporates all the same benefits at its sister model, including a sophisticated Power Management System or “brain” that decreases heat and electrical stress while proportionally distributing power to the netbooks. With the brain, no manual switching or timer is required. It regularly redistributes power to ensure consistent charging and to keep the netbooks cool, thereby allowing them to charge faster. The brain also senses when the laptop batteries are almost charged, then automatically decreases power, which helps save battery life and energy.
The NETBOOK36-CT requires only a single power cord to the wall outlet, which minimizes circuit tripping and reduces electricity consumption. At the same time, the auxiliary power outlets on the top shelf allow it to double as a presentation cart in the classroom, with room for a video projector or a printer since the brain can dedicate power to those accessories when they are needed.
Located in the back of the cart, the cable management area provides storage and identification for each computer and cord with the ability to store more than 430 feet of cable without clutter. Each vertical slot has a permanent laser-cut ID number for coding the computers, the slots and the cable sets, making it easier to manage and identify their location. The cart also has divider brackets to keep the power connector cables in the proper position, while holes in the divider panel allow the cables to pass through and connect easily to the computers for charging.
Bretford’s NETBOOK36-CT cart is fully UL certified.
