The Extron AC+USB 222 is a professional-grade, rack-mountable power distribution unit (PDU) that integrates multiple AC outlets with high-current USB charging ports. Designed for installation in AV racks, equipment cabinets, and credenzas, this unit addresses the modern need to power both traditional AC-powered equipment and an ever-growing array of USB-charged devices such as tablets, touch panels, control system processors, and wireless microphones. Its dual-function design consolidates two critical infrastructure needs into a single, space-efficient 1U rack space, simplifying rack layout, reducing cable clutter, and providing a centralized and managed power source for an entire system.

The unit features multiple standard NEMA 5-15R AC outlets, organized into two independently switched and circuit-breaker-protected banks. This allows an installer to group equipment logically—for example, turning off all video sources with one switch while leaving the control system powered—and provides protection against over-current conditions. The integrated USB ports deliver robust charging power, adhering to contemporary USB charging standards to ensure compatibility with a wide range of devices. The entire unit is constructed with a heavy-gauge steel chassis, ensuring durability and effective heat dissipation in enclosed rack environments.

Designed for seamless integration into professional AV systems, the AC+USB 222 includes a standard IEC inlet for mains power connection and offers optional features like power sequencing delay between its two outlet banks to prevent inrush current issues. Its clean, professional appearance with clear labeling makes it an ideal solution for both technical and end-user spaces. By providing reliable, switched, and protected power for both AC and USB devices from a single rack-mount unit, Extron's solution enhances system organization, reliability, and ease of use for integrators and operators alike.
