Conference Table Power Planning Guide

Plan Power Access for a Conference Table

This guide helps office planners and furniture installers decide where power should be placed before selecting a table module. Start with the number of people who normally use the room, the devices they bring and the route from the tabletop to a suitable wall or floor receptacle.

Conference room planning checklist

  • Count laptops, phones, displays and presentation accessories used at the same time.
  • Decide which devices require AC outlets and which can use USB charging.
  • Measure the tabletop cutout, surface thickness and clearance below the table.
  • Check for frames, drawers, cable troughs and adjustable components.
  • Leave enough outlet spacing for large laptop adapters.
  • Plan cord routing that avoids walkways and moving furniture.

Choose an access style

A recessed outlet keeps ports visible and ready for frequent meetings. A retractable pop up outlet can hide the connection points when the table needs a cleaner surface. Compact USB-C desk outlets suit smaller tables when their dimensions and output match the room requirements.
