Preparing a desk with cable management for moving
Cable trays and power strips underneath a desk are easy to overlook. Before dismantling the furniture, check which cables are attached to it.
Before you start
Shut down and disconnect equipment safely. Photograph the underside of the desk. Do not pull cables free; fixed electrical connections require qualified assistance.
Practical steps
- Separate cable trays, power adapters and fixing screws into labelled groups.
- Mark the orientation of desk legs without applying tape directly to delicate finishes.
- Allow enough access to sockets and cables when choosing the desk's new position.
Checks on arrival
Check the desk's stability after assembly. Before reconnecting devices, look for trapped cables and damaged connections inside the cable tray.
