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.”

Each computer slot in the front of the
cart is complemented in the back with
its own pre-numbered Adapter Holder,

hole. Removable Duck-Head Plugs
have a handy storage place, too.
Power Plug Whips Included
Your new Bretford Cart for Apple
Laptop Computers features short
Power Whips which plug directly into
the Computer’s Adapter, eliminating
long power cords and creating
specialized cable storage. No more
miles of cables to try and keep track
of. Each adapter and its cord set is
wrapped and numbered, easy to
identify and easy to manage.

Each Adapter Cable Set has a Numbered Slot in the Back & the Front
Each computer slot comes pre-numbered, with a slot especially designed for the MagSafe
® Cable Plugs.
Once the Cable Plugs are all hanging in their correct slot, the Clear Cable Trap can be engaged, snugly
trapping the cable so that it is always available at the right place and the right length at the right time.
Hang the Mag-Safe cable in the hook directly over the
Slot, making sure the Clear Cable Trap is in the left
position. This leaves the hook accessible while cable
managing the cart. (See Clear Cable Trap description
below) Place the computer in the slot, and attach the
Mag-Safe Connector to the computer.
Connect the Power Plug Whip to the adapter
(as shown) and place the adapter in its specific,
numbered compartment, directly behind its
numbered computer slot.
