Wiring the workstation
(instructions for electricians)
The instructions for wiring a Mehes workstation are split
up into two sections - this section for electricians and a
section for the users of the workstation (see pages 6 and
7 for the users section).
The connection of the workstation to the electricity
supply and to data and communications systems must
be done by a qualified electrician.
Standards
All Mehes furniture elements and accessories comply
with the regulations in wiring standards BS 6396/2002
and DIN VDE 0100-724.

Cable management
A Mehes workstation can be connected to the power
supply with system extension cables and sockets (fig. 1).
These accessories can be concealed tidily in the vertical
and horizontal cable guides, cable trays and cable
dumps.
Vertical guides
Cables can be led upwards from the floor through a
Mehes leg via a cover clicked on to the inner side of the
leg (fig. 2). The vertical wiring set is concealed behind
the leg cover (this accessory should be ordered sepa-
rately). This consists of a cable clamp (which grips the
cables at the bottom of the Mehes leg to relieve any
strain), and a duct with three segregated channels
through which cables can be led.
As an alternative a special vertical cable guide, separate
from the leg, may be used, for example with variable
height workstations (fig. 3).
Horizontal guides and securing cables
The cables emerging from the vertical cable guides in a
leg can be led through cable trays or dumps (fig. 4) that
can be attached to the beam of the table. The cable
trays can run behind cable dumps, so that these dumps
can be added independently of cable trays. Some cable
trays can be opened to give access to the cables (fig. 5).
Work surface cable holders can be attached anywhere on
the underside of a table top to guide the cables (fig. 6).
Drawer pedestals
Desk-height pedestals are available with a cable routing
duct. This duct can be used as part of the horizontal
cable guide system (fig. 7).
