A cable trunk, sometimes called a cable coil, cable sock, or cable column, is a flexible cable management tool used to route cables and wires from the desk to the floor in an organized and aesthetically pleasing manner. It is designed to reduce the clutter of cables common in workspaces and provides a safe and tidy way to protect and conceal cables.
Advantages of a Cable Trunk
- Safety : By bundling cables and routing them neatly along a desk or workstation, a cable trunking reduces tripping hazards and protects cables from wear and tear or damage from foot traffic or office chairs.
- Aesthetics : Cable loops help make the office space look neater and more professional by keeping loose cables out of sight.
- Flexibility : Many cable trunks are made of flexible materials that can be adjusted to different desk heights and configurations, making them suitable for almost any workplace.
- Easy installation : Cable loops can often be easily installed without the need for tools or permanent changes to the desk or floor.
Considerations when purchasing a cable trunk
- Length : Make sure you choose a cable trunk that is long enough to span the distance from the desk or workstation to the floor. Some models can be cut to size to meet specific needs.
- Diameter : Consider the diameter of the cable trunking. This must be large enough to accommodate all the cables you want to bundle.
- Material : Available in different materials, such as fabric, plastic or rubber. The choice of material may depend on personal preference or the specific requirements of the workplace.
- Color : Choose a color that matches the interior of your office or that conceals the cables in a discreet way.
