Practical retractable power strips for an energetic workplace
Whether in an open-plan office, in a practice or in a home office – nowadays there are a large number of electronic devices in almost every workplace. Now count the power cables on your personal desk. There is the cable for the table lamp, one for the computer, one for the telephone, one for the WLAN router and certainly many more.
You need to ensure that your electronic aids are powered at the same time
- enough slots and
- a socket within easy reach.
A multiple socket is essential in any case. In contrast to a simple extension cable, it offers multiple power connections. Now think one step further. A multi-strip is practical, but who wants to crawl under the desk looking for the plug?
Below, learn more about the practical little helpers that unobtrusively provide electricity in your office.
The advantages and disadvantages of an integrated table socket
Let's first summarize the most important arguments for a power strip at the desk.
- Security: Our power strips are all equipped with surge protection. In plain language, this means that connected devices remain intact even at increased current levels.
- Socket locations in the immediate vicinity: Plugging and unplugging your electronic devices is quick and easy with an integrated power strip. Since it is optimally placed in the desk top, you don't even have to get up.
- Suitable connections: Modern power strips offer different connection types. This means you don't need separate adapters to charge your devices.
- Professional optics: Retractable table sockets conjure up modern accents in otherwise bare desk surfaces. An elegant stainless steel housing hides connections in a high-quality style.
- Reduced power consumption: Multiple sockets help you save electricity. How? You rarely bother to unplug many individual cables on a regular basis. But with a power strip you can cut off the power to multiple devices much more easily and all at once.
But there are also disadvantages of a hidden distribution socket, which we would like to tell you. Ultimately, you should be able to make an informed decision based on your needs.
- Storage space used: Since the sockets disappear down into the desk top after use, the storage space underneath is limited. For example, if you want to create extra storage space in your office with a mobile container, think carefully about how you will place the table socket.
- No way back: Once a recess has been milled into the table top, it cannot be undone. Especially with high-quality or antique desks, consider whether you want to permanently change your piece of furniture. You should continue to like the stainless steel interruption in the surface in the future.
- Cost: Retractable power strips are admittedly more expensive to purchase than standard distribution sockets. Installation also requires initial effort. But if you love order and a professional look in the office, you should think about investing.
This means that the desk socket can be installed in no time at all
The man/woman is himself:
Our retractable sockets arrive at you as a finished unit with clear assembly instructions. This will explain to you step by step how to easily mill the table top. The bar can then be inserted into the newly created opening. Once the table socket has been embedded in the surface, it can be easily fixed using adjustable locking clamps. And you can now connect your most important electrical devices.
The specialist should get to work:
Don't worry - for anyone who is less blessed with manual skills or simply wants to have the installation done by a specialist, we offer an ingenious alternative. For a small additional charge, our experts will take care of the milling and installation of the power strip. This way you avoid tearing out of the desk top and can sit back and relax.
There are two ways to keep your workspace tidy
Concentrate on the essential things in your everyday life and free your conference or desk from loose cables. How does this work best? Let us introduce you to two clever solutions:
Variant 1: Cable flap
A cable flap is a practical passage in the table top to route required power or mains cables to the power connection without major detours. This makes it ideal for anyone who appreciates a tidy desk and wants to protect their cables from damage.
To install the cable outlet, you need a corresponding recess in your table top. If desired, our competent specialist staff will be happy to take care of the milling and installation. Where you want to place the cable outlet is of course entirely up to you.
Variant 2: Cable clamps
The second way to bring order to your cable clutter is with cable clamps. These useful helpers cleverly guide your cables to the power connection and keep your table neat and tidy.
The clamps are quickly and easily attached under the table top with screws. Depending on how many cables you want to hide, choose a single or 5-fold cable holder.
