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.
When wired network access is needed
For training rooms and conference tables that need power plus a fixed Ethernet connection, compare the 3-inch recessed desk outlet with USB and Cat6 RJ45. The current listing documents 2 AC outlets, dual USB-A charging, Cat6 Gigabit Ethernet, a 10 ft cord and a 3-inch circular cutout.
