Kramer AV PS-1205
Desktop Power Supply 12V/5A
- Up to 5A Current Consumption
- Powers any 12V DC Compatible Device
- Standard size, lockable input plug
Description
The Kramer PS-1205 is the higher-current member of Kramer's 12V desktop power supply family, delivering up to 5A where the more common 2A supplies run out of headroom. That distinction matters in practice in matrix switchers, multi-port distribution amplifiers, HDBaseT transmitters that supply remote power, and devices driving several downstream loads simultaneously.
All draw considerably more current than a single-port extender, and under-specifying the supply is one of the most common causes of unexplained instability in an otherwise sound installation.
5A output with a lockable input plug
The unit provides a regulated 12V DC output through a standard-size DC output plug, making it compatible with any Kramer product and most third-party equipment that expects a conventional 12-volt barrel connection.
The input plug is lockable, a small but genuinely useful detail in permanent installations where a supply lives inside a rack, behind millwork or above a ceiling tile. A locking connection means a cable dressed against a bundle or nudged during a service visit will not gradually work its way loose and cause an intermittent fault weeks later.
The desktop form factor keeps the PS-1205 compact enough to sit inside furniture, on a rack shelf or on a surface next to the equipment it powers, with no rack space consumed.
As a Kramer-engineered supply it is designed and tested to the electrical requirements of Kramer's own hardware. So the regulation, ripple performance and current delivery are matched to the devices rather than merely adequate for them.
Substituting a generic adapter of nominally similar rating is a frequent shortcut, a frequent source of the noise and dropout complaints that follow.
Specifying the right supply for the load
For integrators, the PS-1205 is a straightforward specification decision: pair it with any 12V Kramer device whose current draw exceeds what a 2A supply comfortably provides, and keep one on the shelf for service work.
Conference Room AV is an authorized Kramer dealer with free shipping, a 30-day return policy and a downloadable specification sheet for anyone verifying compatibility before ordering.
Lower-draw single-port devices the Kramer PS-1202 12V/2A supply is the correct and cheaper choice, and the Kramer ADC-MDP/HF/UHD adapter cable rounds out a typical Kramer room kit.
