Kensington AC30 30-Bay Security Charging Cabinet

The Kensington AC30 30-Bay Security Charging Cabinet is a purpose-built solution designed to securely store and simultaneously charge up to 30 devices in high-demand environments. Designed for schools, libraries, computer labs, and busy offices, this cabinet combines rugged, lockable metal construction with intelligent power management to keep devices protected, organized, and ready for use. It delivers a streamlined charging workflow that reduces clutter, minimizes the risk of cable tangling, and helps educators and IT teams manage BYOD programs with confidence. With its thoughtful layout, the AC30 keeps devices upright and accessible, enabling quick check-ins and check-outs while maintaining strict security and control over who can access the bays. Whether you’re deploying tablets for a classroom, Chromebooks for a lab, or shared devices for staff, the AC30 is built to deliver reliable charging performance day after day.

• 30-device capacity with organized bays and accessible storage: Each bay is designed to accommodate common classroom and office devices, with ample space to prevent overheating and ease of insertion or removal. The internal layout promotes quick device retrieval by students and staff while keeping cords neatly separated to avoid tangling. The modular design supports flexible configurations, so you can adapt the cabinet to fit evolving device fleets without sacrificing security or efficiency.
• Advanced charging technology with protection and efficiency: The AC30 incorporates smart power distribution that senses each device’s charging needs and delivers safe, optimized current. Built-in surge protection guards against power spikes, while energy-efficient electronics minimize standby consumption. This combination reduces energy waste, extends device battery life, and ensures consistent charging performance across all bays—even during peak usage periods.
• Secure access and accountability: A robust locking system provides strong physical security, with options for keyed or electronic access depending on configuration. The cabinet is designed to deter tampering and includes mechanisms to support audit-style access logs, so administrators can review when bays were opened and by whom. This feature is especially valuable in schools and shared workspaces where accountability is essential while preserving a smooth user experience for students and staff.
• Durable, maintenance-friendly design with superior cable management: The AC30 is built from powder-coated steel that withstands daily use in busy environments. Ventilation and airflow are engineered to prevent overheating, while removable trays and shelves simplify cleaning and reconfiguration. Integrated cable management channels route charging cords neatly behind each bay, reducing clutter and enabling safer, easier device loading and unloading.
• Optimized for education and enterprise use: The 30-bay footprint makes it suitable for classrooms, libraries, labs, and corporate settings that require fast turnover of devices. The cabinet supports BYOD programs, equipment lending, and shared device pools, helping IT teams standardize charging workflows and improve device uptime. Its rugged construction and secure access features provide peace of mind in environments that demand reliability and accountability without sacrificing user convenience.
