Bretford Announces NETBOOK42 Cart

bretford-netbook42cart-0710Bretford Manufacturing last week announced the NETBOOK42-CT, a new cart that vertically stores, charges and protects up to 42 Netbook computers. Primarily for education environments, the NETBOOK42 incorporates a power management system that decreases heat and electrical stress while proportionally distributing power to the netbooks to preserve battery life, and only requires a single power outlet for use. The new cart features a small 32” x 26” footprint to fit in tight spaces, and cable management to keep 42 netbook computers and cords neatly managed and stored in the back.

The auxiliary power outlets on the top shelf allow the NETBOOK42 Cart 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 500 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 NETBOOK42-CT has an all-steel welded frame and is constructed from the most durable materials to protect the electronic equipment from damage. Further, it comes equipped with two reprogrammable combination padlocks three-point security on the front and back doors to prevent against theft.

The cart is expected to ship next month, pending UL certification. For more information, go to http://www.bretford.com

Similar to the HDCP in model number comment above, the model numbers here are very helpful on prompting what you’re looking for.  Wondering how the power management system “decreases heat and electrical stress”?
