With Flexspace ATI Framework, once installed, any 2’ x 2’ panel in the continuous floor-wide grid can be easily removed so that the organized and documented power and data/com cable structure it houses can be reconfigured, serviced or upgraded in a fraction of the time and cost required by conventional cable management methods. Flexspace's Cablefloor low profile, non-metallic modular construction makes it the lowest cost, easiest to install cable management system available on the market today.
"A flexible and manageable power and data/com cable infrastructure is becoming critical for operational success of almost every medium to large-sized enterprise.
