How do I position desks to avoid extension cord problems?

Q: How do I position desks to avoid extension cord problems?

Plan desk positions so that power and data ports are accessible from under or behind the desk — not requiring extension cords crossing open floor. Ideally, a desk sits with its modesty panel no more than 24" from a floor-mounted outlet or wall outlet in the 12"–18" zone. For open office layouts without floor ports, plan for in-surface power modules or overhead cable drops. At FindOfficeFurniture.com, we coordinate power requirements with desk layouts — call 888-719-4960 for the best deals.
