Connectrac’s floor-based cable management provides power and data access in commercial spaces while addressing a wide range of architectural challenges with minimal disruption.

Office spaces designed before the pandemic often do not meet modern requirements, with only a third of workers reporting recent remodeling. With the increasing return to the office and hybrid working models, as well as the rise of desk sharing or desk hopping, the need for accessible power solutions is more important than ever.

Connectrac’s Flex Raceway System and Express Kits can provide some solutions to these modern office problems.

Connectrac Flex cable duct system

Connectrac’s Flex Raceway System provides discreetly customizable power and data access exactly where it’s needed in commercial interior spaces. It includes pre-wired, interconnected Powertracs and Power Hubs with expanded data capacity and interchangeable power devices that can be easily swapped or removed to adapt to any configuration.

This cable management solution is available with two installation options to optimize adaptability. The hidden under-carpet system works best under carpet tiles, providing an invisible solution for managing power and data cables. The visible floor system works great on any floor surface, delivering power and connectivity where it’s needed.

The raceway must begin with an entry fitting, a location where the connection is made between the building’s electrical supply and the modular raceway system. Flex Raceway can be started in four different ways.

1. In-Wall Entry: Allows a seamless connection from the base of a wall to the Flex Conduit System. It comes with a pre-wired steel conduit (15 or 30 feet) that is used to connect to a junction box in the wall or ceiling.
2. Surface Mount Entry: Used when power and data are fed outside the wall. The fitting is available with pre-wired steel conduit in three lengths: 3′, 15′ or 30′ and includes a wall channel kit that encases the pre-wired conduit in an aluminum profile that mounts to the surface of the wall.
3. Surface-mounted transition from Legrand 2400D and 4000 Series conduit systems: Allows power and data to be supplied from nearby 2400D or 4000 Series conduit systems. The 2400D transition accommodates a single Powertrac, while the 4000 transition can accommodate up to three Powertrac/Datatrac channels.
4. Thru-Hole Entry: Allows the Connectrac Flex Raceway system to be launched at nearly any point along a concrete floor and eliminates the need for power and data from a nearby wall. The specially designed through-hole and entry mount provides a low-profile transition that fits into a 4″ core hole. The through-hole entry differs from the wall entries by having a different connection point that connects to either a Power Hub or Powertrac Corner rather than starting directly at a Powertrac.

Connectrac Express Kits

Connectrac Express Kits are a convenient, quick-to-deploy raceway solution that seamlessly manages the routing of power and data cables. Designed for smaller applications, these single-circuit raceway solutions start at a wall and provide a streamlined, pre-wired solution for a single power and data point. These Express Kits include everything needed for installation – including pre-wired power, versatile data, and low-profile transition ramps.

Two installation options are available for Connectrac Express kits. The Under Carpet Cable Management System seamlessly conceals cables and wires and works best under carpet tiles. The Under Carpet Express kit is 6 feet long and 3 foot extensions are available to achieve the desired length. It is recommended not to exceed 15 feet as the cable raceway is 25 feet long.

The On-Floor system is a visible cable channel that can be installed on any floor surface. The On-Floor Express Kit is available in 6′, 9′ and 12′ lengths.

Express Kits are ADA compliant, accommodate 1 single-circuit power and data point, and are tested to UL 111 standards. These kits provide customizable power and data access and enable connectivity access to podiums, kiosks, tables, and more.
