The user and the wiring
Users may themselves sometimes want to change some
aspect of the wiring of their Mehes workstation. For
example plug an item of equipment into a socket or
unplug it, or conceal surplus lengths of cable tidily.
Safety
Safety must be the prime concern in the wiring of a
workstation. For this reason, every component that
comes into contact with wires and cables has rounded
edges and the item of furniture can be earthed as a
whole.
Accidents caused by tripping over cables and flexes on
the floor can be prevented by concealing the cables in
the facilities specifically provided by the Mehes range.
Concealed cables make the workstation safer, it looks
much tidier and it is easier to clean.
Workstations with socket mounting
plate/brackets
It is easy to plug in and unplug
equipment.

Connections
Your workstation can be fitted with connections to the
power supply and to computer networks in a variety of
ways:
– Sockets can be mounted directly on the support beam
(fig. 1).
– One or more cable dumps can be suspended under
the workstation (fig. 2). In that case, the workstation
hardware is plugged into sockets in these dumps, and
you can also conceal excess cable in them.
Surplus lengths of cable can be
secured in or on cable trays.
Start by removing the cable clamps,
tuck in the cables and then close the
tray again with the cable clamps.
English
You can also loop cables around the
cable clamps.

Work surface cable guides can also
be used for this purpose.

Moving sockets
Sockets mounted on a plastic
mounting plate can be clicked on to
a different part of the support
beam. Pull the two lips downwards
slightly, slide the whole thing for-
ward, remove it and push it back on
to the beam in a different position.
Make sure the cable is long enough!
If a green and yellow earth wire
has been fitted, do not move the
socket!
