Fancy Way Of Saying No More Wires

Wires, wires and more wires. Look behind your desk and I’m sure that’s what you’ll see. Mounds of them even. So if you’ve got modular furniture (like a cubicle, let’s say) you’ll be pleased to hear about the Connectrac system, a floor raceway system designed by architect Clint Strong. It’s really an alternative to other nasty ways of electric connectivity like power poles, and my personal favorite, poke-throughs. Basically, you won’t have any structural holes or layout limitations with Connectrac because it’s a shallow track that will cause only a gradual rise in the floor. Still trippable of course, but not as ugly. Comes in 10 different finish options.
