Cable managed desks carry power and data cables down through a channel inside the leg, rather than leaving them to dangle behind the desk. It is a modest upgrade over a plain leg and one people are rarely sorry they chose. These desks suit Irish offices with desks in the middle of a room or on view to visitors.
The problem it solves
Most cable solutions tidy wires under the worktop and then leave them hanging at the back edge, in plain sight. A cable managed leg takes them from desk height to the floor inside the upright. That keeps cables away from feet and chair castors, and stops plugs being tugged out when someone knocks the desk.
Finishing the cable run
The leg handles the drop to the floor, but each end of the run still needs a plan:
- From the desktop: a cable port or a scalloped edge lets cables pass down into the leg.
- At floor level: trays, spines and baskets from our cable management range take the cables on to the wall or floor box.
Check where the nearest socket or floor box sits before ordering, as that sets how far each cable has to travel once it leaves the leg.
Where it makes the biggest difference
Desks that stand away from a wall, and offices where the backs of desks face visitors. In either setting, hanging cables are what the eye catches first, so routing them inside the frame does more for the look of the room than almost any other upgrade.
Cable managed legs are offered on straight desks, corner desks and crescent tops, so the same tidy finish can run through every position in the office. If you are unsure which leg suits your floor, call us on 01 816 6600.
