Re: [Coworking] Electrical Needs

[John Wilker]

Ours are in mid process right now. We ran conduit all over the place (right now on the floor) to 4 outlet boxes. Each pair of outlets is a separate circuit. Phase two will be moving the conduit to the ceiling and dropping the boxes in a way that they're still semi movable so we have flexibility

Hi, everybody.

I been working in open a new coworking space in mexico city, and i have a question about the right way to put electrical contacts in the workplaces, for example: over the table, below the table, use a multi-contact extension, a contact bar below the table.

so in your experience what's the best way to solve this, what is the way of you coworkers feel confort about this facility?  all your comments are been appreciated.

and what about phones? your coworkers use extensions, specific numbers? cell phones? ip telephony? again all your comments are been appreciated.

Thank you to all...

We always use at or above the surface, usually by some kind of data/power insert (yes, these are a bit $), or if you use a Turnstone Bivi desk (http://myturnstone.com/products/bivi-table-for-one/), just drop in a power strip into their trough.  Super easy.

To provide power up to the desk, we usually go thru the floor, which, yes, if a concrete floor, also $.  We don't like to have jboxes sticking out from the floor as that's often a trip hazard.  You can also run conduit on the floor then cover with a floor transition strip or similar.  Much cheaper than coring concrete.

From the ceiling can work as well, but sometimes they clutter the open view.  Subjective of course.

Remember, if you think you may reconfigure your space, permanent is, well, permanent.

What furniture are you using?  What does the floor plan look like?  Can you use ceiling mounted conduit frames, and drop down reels of cord?

OR drop down wiremold style sticks on the support columns to get to desks?  Or ...?

(Pictures would be great!)  (hint!!!!)  ;)

Thank you to all for your comments; really appreciated. what about the phone services? how do you solve? one number with extensions or each coworker solve this with cellphones?? 

[Property Magic]

Saludos Rodrigo,

Here in Bethlehem, PA all our members have cell phones, some w/ unlimited minutes plan, we have one Vonage VOIP business line for marketing materials as inbound calling which can be used for outbound calling but its rarely used that way.
