Sockets under desks

[LeeH]

Would they accept the angled dado on the top of the desk? 2 lengths back to back.

Most desks in offices get fitted with modesty panel cable tray and power racks. An on desk extension lead is then plugged in to the power rack and passed through the desks cable port. All the computer stuff is plugged in under the desk and the small on desk extension lead is for more personal use like charging phones etc. I think you are overthinking it.

I’m already fitting pedestal boxes with sockets + usb on top of the desks

I didn’t make it clear this isn’t a big commercial office, or normal office desks.
It’s a small office in a theatre, I haven’t seen the actual desks yet but there’s little chance they’ll be standard office desks. In the second office all of the furniture is going to be antiques.

The spec I have been given is for sockets above and below the desks, I’ve got the above covered already with pedestal boxes. It’s just the mounting of sockets below the desks that i’m looking for thoughts on.

As I said earlier if the desks arrive and they have a vertical surface I can fit surface sockets to then that’s what will be happening.

I might think of fixing skirting trunking up the inside of one of the rear desk legs and mount sockets sideways up the trunking.
I was thinking screwing it to the underside of the desk but no space the fit large plugs and not a secure fix.
Or even, depending on loading, screwing a multi socket extension to the leg.
perhaps a PDU between front and rear legs, depending on dimensions and number of sockets required.
