Facilities leaders and their teams are continuously on the lookout for innovative solutions. With that in mind, this SOLUTIONS 2019 feature highlights products and services poised to deliver results in various aspects of facility operations. The recent issue of Facility Executive magazine included a selection of solutions for 2019, and featured here is a new product from Connectrac:
Floor Based Cable Management Solutions
Facility Executive: What is a notable product or service that Connectrac is offering to facility management professionals in 2019?
Connectrac: [The company] provides facility professionals a floor based cable management solution that delivers power and data within a space without the need for core drilling, trenching, or power poles. Connectrac has become the standard to provide power and connectivity for the entire office space. Core drilling is the old standby and accepted way to deliver power and data to a space. However, this is not a flexible solution for today’s changing demands, but Connectrac is. Core drilling can hold up construction and cause disruption in and around the space, typically requiring extra time for approvals and the install, not to mention the fact that once core drills are in, there’s no changing them.
One solution from Connectrac is the company’s 2.7 Under-Carpet Wireway, an unobtrusive solution that accommodates power cable management to any space with carpet tiling. Shown here, this cable management solution is ideal for conference rooms, collaborative areas, lounges, lecterns, and more. It provides a subtle and invisible installation beneath carpet tiles in the facility. The 2.7 Under-Carpet Wireway offers the option of two or four electrical outlets, and the product accommodates multiple connectivity cables. It is listed through ETL/Intertek, and is ADA compliant.
For 2019, Connectrac’s Product Development team is creating a new solution that will expand the flexibility and adaptability of the company’s product line to answer all of the demands of the always changing work space.
Facility Executive: How is this upcoming offering relevant to the work of facility management leaders? How will it help them achieve their goals?
Connectrac: The needs of the work place are constantly changing, and the demands to deliver power and data is increasing. Connectrac has taken the feedback from facility managers of the largest North American corporations to the most influential specifiers to create a product that better services the demand for power and connectivity anywhere and everywhere it is needed. All of this with flexibility, eliminating limitations.
