Extron PS 1215 C (part number 70-1174-01) — an eighth-rack PS Series desktop supply delivering 12 VDC at 1.5 A.

This is the middle rung of Extron's 12 volt desktop range: 18 watts on a single captive screw output, enough headroom for devices the 0.5 A PS 1205 C cannot carry, without stepping up to a quarter-rack chassis. The 1U eighth-rack enclosure is high impact plastic, cooled by convection with no vents, and it snaps into the supplied ZipClip 100 bracket for a mechanical mount on a rack rail, a lectern or a table leg. Idle consumption is 0.05 watts, and Extron measures average efficiency at 87.7%.
