Eaton Tripp Lite CST32AC Series: 16-Device AC Charging Towers for Chromebooks – Open Frame, White, 2 Pack (32 Devices Total)

The Eaton Tripp Lite CST32AC charging solution is the ultimate space-saving, classroom-ready power station designed to keep up to 32 Chromebooks and tablets charged, secure, and organized. Built from two CST16AC towers, this open-frame, white charging system delivers reliable 120V AC charging with smart cord management and a sturdy, versatile construction that works equally well mounted to a wall or deployed as a floor-standing unit. Perfect for schools, libraries, training labs, and tech-driven environments, the CST32AC helps educators streamline device readiness, simplify maintenance, and maximize learning time by reducing downtime spent searching for power or untangling cables.

• Maximum device capacity in a compact footprint: The CST32AC combines two CST16AC towers to support up to 32 Chromebooks and tablets, making it an efficient, high-density charging hub for classrooms, computer labs, and training spaces. The open-frame design minimizes bulk while keeping devices accessible, powered, and easy to monitor. With a total of 32 ports across two towers, schools gain a centralized charging solution that fits neatly into crowded tech spaces.
• High-speed 120V AC charging with secure storage: Each CST16AC tower delivers dependable, high-speed charging for devices at 120V, ensuring Chromebooks and tablets power up quickly between class blocks. In addition to fast charging, the system features secure storage options that keep devices protected when not in use and reduce the risk of misplacement in busy environments. Cord management within each tower helps keep cables organized and out of the way, creating a cleaner, safer learning space.
• Flexible mounting: wall-anchored or floor-standing versatility: The CST32AC is designed for adaptable installation, offering both wall-anchored and floor-standing configurations. This flexibility makes it easy to maximize space in classrooms with limited wall space or to position the towers where students and teachers can access them most efficiently. The open-frame construction aids airflow around devices, helping maintain optimal charging performance during long-use days.
• Modular, scalable design tailored to evolving needs: By pairing two CST16AC towers, the CST32AC gives schools a scalable solution that can grow with your device fleet. The two-tower approach allows for straightforward expansion; if more devices need to be charged, districts can add additional CST16AC towers to existing setups while preserving consistent charging performance and a uniform look across the charging ecosystem.
• Durable, school-ready finish with comprehensive cable management: The white open-frame enclosure is designed to withstand daily classroom use, with attention to ease of maintenance and a tidy aesthetic that blends into most educational interiors. Integrated cord management reduces tangles, minimizes trip hazards, and simplifies daily device handling for teachers and IT staff alike. The overall build emphasizes reliability and long-term value in active learning environments.

how to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 16-Device AC Charging Towers for Chromebooks

• Plan the layout: Assess the classroom or lab space to determine the best mounting or placement location for optimal device access, cable routing, and safety. Decide whether to mount the towers on the wall or position them as a floor-standing unit based on room geometry and traffic flow.
• Unpack and inspect: Remove all components from the packaging and verify that both CST16AC towers are present, along with mounting hardware if you intend to wall-mount. Check for any shipping damage and ensure all cords and connections are intact before installation.
• Mounting (wall-anchored option): Secure the CST16AC towers to the wall using the provided hardware or manufacturer-recommended anchors. Ensure the mounting surface is solid and capable of supporting the weight of the units and the devices they will hold. Level the towers to maintain proper device alignment and charging access.
• Mounting (floor-standing option): If choosing a floor-standing configuration, position the towers on a stable, clean floor surface. Use compatible stand supports or stands if included with your purchase, ensuring that the units are stable and accessible from student desks or charging stations.
• Power connection: Plug each CST16AC tower into a dedicated 120V AC power source. Adhere to local electrical codes and avoid overloading circuits. Route power cords and data cables neatly to minimize trip hazards and keep the workspace tidy.
• Device organization and loading: Slide Chromebooks and tablets into the individual charging bays, ensuring devices are properly seated and cords are routed to prevent tangling. If applicable, label bays for quick device identification and future inventory management.
• Testing and verification: Power on the towers and verify that each device in the bays begins charging. Confirm that the cord management system keeps cables organized and that devices can be retrieved and reinserted without obstruction. Perform a basic test cycle to ensure consistent charging across all devices.
