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.
