Standing desks add a layer of cable-management complexity most workspaces don't have to deal with: the desk itself moves. Here's how to keep every cord safe through thousands of up-and-down cycles.

Standing desks add a layer of cable-management complexity most workspaces don't have to deal with: the desk itself moves. Every power and data cable connected to PCs, docking stations, monitors, desk lamps, etc. must safely and reliably flex as the desk rises and falls. Wire Wonder contains all of the cabling and the power strip, and mounts directly to the leg of, or beneath, the standing desk, so only the one cord to the power strip has to flex when the desk moves. Everything else stays put.

Wire Wonder is a surface-mounted box with a snap-on cover, built to stow large amounts of cabling without over-bending or kinking. Inside, movable and fixed cable-management pegs route each cord individually, and generous cable egress slots let wiring come in and go out in multiple directions. The aesthetic snap-on cover then conceals it all.

Wire Wonder is large enough for up to 200 ft of cabling and a 6-plug surge protector/power strip. It can also serve as a concealed location for a small workgroup switch, wireless router, or cable modem — the rugged all-plastic construction is virtually transparent to wireless signal.

Wire Wonder has the following features to simplify integration into the professional or home office standing desk environment:

• 3 wide openings on each side for cable and cord egress
• Unique adjustable peg system inside for cable management
• Easily attaches to standing desk legs with cable ties
• Snap-on cover permits easy access to cabling
• Lightweight and paintable
• Plastic construction is virtually transparent to wireless signal

The slots on the sides of Wire Wonder are designed to accommodate up to nine TIA-569-compliant furniture faceplates for RJ-45 jack modules. The cabling installer can terminate permanent links inside Wire Wonder and connect equipment cords on the exterior.

Improve the finish and professionalism of your next cabling installation. Use Wire Wonder as an easy-to-install, surface-mount substitute for a recessed access panel. Route cable inside walls or surface raceway and terminate in Wire Wonder, or mount it directly over power and data outlets. It's paintable to blend in with the work area and can be installed just about anywhere in the office, including behind desks and other furnishings. With cabling stowed inside, maintaining and servicing equipment and its power and data cords is easier.

Professional installers will find Wire Wonder immensely valuable in adding that professional aesthetic touch to their installation.
