How to Route Cables Under a Desk with a Power Grommet
A power grommet can make the top of a desk cleaner, but the cable path below the desk still matters. Good routing keeps cords away from drawers, sharp edges, and places where plugs can be pulled loose.
Routing checklist
- Leave enough clearance for plugs below the outlet
- Keep cords away from drawer slides and moving parts
- Use clips or cable trays to guide cords along the underside
- Avoid sharp bends near the plug or power module
- Keep cords away from heat, moisture, and foot traffic
