You know from personal experience the value of
keeping your closet neat and organized. You
know exactly where everything is when you open
the door. So Bretford developed a “closet” for all
the cords and cables associated with your Laptop
Computers.
Your 30 Laptop Mobility Cart has its own
“Cable Clutter Closet” – a lockable
compartment at the back of the cart especially
designed to keep all the cables away from the
computers and the hands that retrieve those
computers from the cart.
Only the IT Administrator can have access
to the Cable Clutter Closet, since it has its own
programmable Combination Padlock.
The Power Whips eliminate 6 feet of cable
for each computer, plugging directly into the
power adapter. Less cable and less weight.
Special Compartments for each power
adapter and its cables provide individual spot
for each cordset.
Comes with appropriate Laser Numbers
coding the computers, the slots & cable sets.
The interior Divider Panel separates the cart
so that 75% of the cart is dedicated to the
computers in the front and 25% is dedicated to
cables and power adapters in the back. Holes in
the Divider Panel allow the computer connector
cables to pass thru and be easily connected to the
computers for charging.
By separating the computer from its power
adapter, you minimize the amount of heat beside
the computer battery, allowing it to charge at a
lower temperature,
allowing the battery to charge faster.
“A place for everything, & everything in its place.”

Your new Bretford Cart for Apple
Laptop Computers features short

position. This leaves the hook accessible while cable

Mag-Safe Connector to the computer.
