Office and administrative buildings
Efficient electrical infrastructure for office buildings
The modern working world is constantly changing. This is shown particularly by the increasingly popular open space offices, which are characterised, for example, by floor to ceiling windows and large office spaces without partitions. The key here is to use the available space to the maximum and be as flexible as possible with regard to furnishings. The electrical infrastructure and the routing of the cables for power and data must adapt to these requirements. One of the simplest exercises for the OBO portfolio.
OBO solutions for modern office buildings:
- OKA open, screed-flush trunking system: With the OKA floor-flush trunking system, large volumes can be routed in the floor. The trunking can be opened and closed using lockable covers and the floor boxes can be moved within the course of the trunking. This allows the flexible adaptation of outlets for current and data to changes in the room furnishings.
- GES service outlets: Service outlets supply workstations and other points in the middle of the room with power and data connections via the floor. Ideal for modern office design. The service outlets are available in round and rectangular designs. The variants Metal and plastic and metal variants blend discreetly into the individual room design.
- Deskboxes: The OBO Deskboxes offer direct access to power, data and multimedia connections for every workplace. Three different Deskbox solutions in high-quality materials and elegant designs are available to meet individual requirements: The freely placeable Deskbox DB , the lowerable Deskbox DBV and the foldable DBK Deskbox .
- Rapid 80 double trunking: The Rapid 80 double trunking unifies design and function in one system in an uncomplicated and convincing manner. The two fully separate trunking compartments are used to accept cables with different potentials, for example data and heavy current cables. This excludes electromagnetic interference in the parallel cable run.
- Rapid 80 with integrated windowsill: The Rapid 80 can be fastened to the wall using a panel and its depth can also be adjusted. Firstly, slats are snapped onto the panels, forming a flush closure as a windowsill.
- Black-coated cable trays: What connects modern office buildings and office landscapes in historic old buildings? Both place great emphasis on an impressive appearance. Frequently, open ceilings can be found in these building types. The OBO cable trays with a black, powder-coated finish are ideal for use in environments such as these, which have aesthetic requirements.
