Extron PS Series Desktop Power Supplies offer high reliability, meet Level V or VI standards for energy efficiency, and provide versatile mounting options for easy integration. These energy-efficient Everlast power supplies lower power consumption, reducing operating costs and helping to meet green building requirements.

Extron was the first US‑based manufacturer to receive Energy Efficiency Certification (EEC) by UL Environment. The program allows a manufacturer to substantiate its ENERGY STAR^® claims using a trusted third-party organization. Extron designs and tests products to the highest standards available for reliability and performance.

PS Series Desktop Power Supplies are engineered by Extron, ensuring increased durability and reliability. While typical power supplies last for three years, Extron's PS Series are designed to last for over 114 years of continuous use. The PS 1220 model has a calculated MTBF of over 400,000 hours, and PS 1242 has 280,000 hours to prevent power supply-related failures and disruption to system operation.

PS Series Desktop Power Supplies are available in the most popular voltages used by Extron products: 12 VDC. With the included ZipClip mounting kit, these power supplies can be quickly and securely mounted to rack rails, tables, and lecterns. They also feature a 1U enclosure with threaded inserts to mount directly onto Extron rack shelves. The unique enclosure design allows direct mounting to projector poles, table legs, and other oddly shaped structures. The PS Series Desktop Power Supplies are available in one-eighth rack width and one-quarter rack width versions, enabling them to be installed in small spaces.

One-Eighth Rack Width

The compact one-eighth rack width by 1U models include an attached 3’ (0.94 m) DC cord terminated with a captive screw connector. They snap into the included patented ZipClip 100 mounting bracket for secure mounting to rack rails, tables, or lecterns. Models include the PS 1215 and PS 1220; while PS 1205 includes the ZipClip 50 mounting bracket.

One-Quarter Rack Width

The one-quarter rack width by 1U PS 1242 power supply has three 2-pole captive screw ports and offers a total of 4.2 amps across all outputs with no per-port current limitations It snaps into the included, patented ZipClip 200 mounting bracket for secure mounting to rack rails, tables, or lecterns. The PS 1242 features one detached 6-foot DC cable with pre-sliced ends, three orange 2-pole, 3.5 mm captive screw connectors, and a DC plug for convenient DC output creation.
