Cable management is a critical part of office design. Cables look unsightly and can cause a trip hazard, yet they\u2019re so critical. Power cables for computers and monitors, chargers for phones and tablets, and cables that take data from one device to another \u2013 despite Bluetooth and WiFo, cables are still an important part of our work environment.<\/p>\n
However, making sure they don\u2019t interfere with the aesthetic of your office can take some planning.<\/p>\n
Here are some of our favourite solutions to help keep cables tame and tidy and out of harm\u2019s way.<\/p>\n
Running cables inside walls and between partitions can be one of the neatest ways to manage your office cables, but these cables need protecting. Horizontal cable snakes<\/a> can be used with vertical cable snakes to offer end-to-end protection of cables running within walls, ceilings and floors.<\/p>\n Typically, power needs to get to a bank of units to be hidden on the underside of these units and run to the device needing the power.<\/p>\n Our plastic floor trunking provides<\/a> an effective solution to keep cables safe and ensure they don\u2019t pose a hazard as they take your data and energy from A to B. These trunking strips are supplied in 2-metre lengths as an all-plastic unit, or an aluminium-capped unit with a plastic base. These have three dividers enabling you to run 4 separate lengths of cable to deliver power or data to wherever it\u2019s needed. And, as with most things at Box15, the more you order, the lower the unit price.<\/p>\n Sometimes you simply need to make sure cables track in a tidy manner and are protected. For this, we have our aerofoil vertical snake kit<\/a> – a subtle but effective way to keep cables in one tidy place. These can run from the ground to the underside of the desktop, and then along the underside of the desk to the cable port. Alternatives include our Helix Metal Cable Spine<\/a> and, for up to 4 cables, our 4-cell vertical snake<\/a> with a weighted base to ensure that the snake extends the full length of the cable.<\/p>\nCable management floor trunking<\/strong><\/h3>\n
