Custom Conference Table Technology

Power, data, and video options

Most of our tables incorporate some kind of wiring. Here's a summary of our favorite solutions:

No Wiring

If you aren't using computers or other equipment at the table, you might not want to have any wiring. This is often the case with small tables, but we will make any table without wire runs if desired.

About Wire Runs

When you add wiring the the table, it's wise to consider the wire path to the floor. All of our tables can be outfitted with internal wire runs, and most of them are specifically designed to be easy to wire. We have wide experience with all kinds of wiring and will work with you to figure out the best way to solve your wiring problems.

Grommets

The simplest way to accomodate wires is to put holes in the table top. This is often done when the only equipment required is a telephone or Polycom. We frequently use a 2.5" round, either in wood, plastic, or metal. There are many other sizes available - we'll make a recommendation after reviewing your equipment needs with you.

Microphones

These usually require a small hole to be drilled in the top, and wire paths below. We do not provide these, so have your AV person specify the model used, number required, and preferred location

Power/Data Units

If you are using computers or other equipment at the table, it's useful to be able to plug them in at the table top. We use power/data units manufactured by AV vendors at the connection point. There are hundreds of these available, at a very wide variety of price points. Our favorite units are shown below. These are reliable and economical choices, but may not work for your situation. We are happy to work with your IT people, and we will design the table to accomodate any unit you choose.
