Under desk power modules distribute mains sockets beneath the worktop, so cables stay out of sight and each desk has its own supply. The range covers CMD Elite and Conti modules, Metalicon Powerlink units and the Dynamic Office Solutions Volta, together with the starter cables, connector blocks and interconnect leads that join them.
How to choose under desk modules
Count sockets first, then think about protection and connection.
- Elite modules come in 2, 3, 4 and 6 socket versions and the Powerlink in 2, 3, 4 and 6 plug versions, some with a switch.
- Where the desk supply needs its own protection, the Conti 4 module is offered with a 16A 30mA RCBO and there is an Elite 16A 30mA RCD module.
- Starter cables run from the wall or floor box to the first module, and connector cables or Volta chain leads link one desk to the next.
- Stay within one connector system, using CMD 16 series or GST/ST blocks with CMD modules and Sourcetec interconnect cables with Sourcetec kit.
- Add HDMI, USB or Cat 6 leads from the AV cable range if the desks carry screens and wired network points.
For contractors, facilities teams and single desks
Electricians and fit-out contractors order this category by the floor, and a project quote for modules, leads and splitters together is the usual route. Facilities teams reconfiguring an office can add modules and self-fit connectors to extend an existing run. A home worker with a sit-stand desk can fit a single Powerlink or Elite module underneath and plug desk, screen and laptop into one tidy point.
Everything here is delivered to the UK mainland direct from the manufacturer, and businesses can request pricing through trade and quotes. For sockets and USB on the surface itself, see our desktop power units.
