The Benefits of Cable Outlets

Cable outlets are an ideal way of keeping cables tidy through a hole in a desk. They are suitable for both home and office use, though are more common in offices due to the  cables from neighbouring desks. Cable outlets provide both aesthetic and practical benefits, as we know how finding a specific cable can sometimes be a difficult task! Find out why there are many benefits to cable outlets with Insignia Manufacturing’s useful article.

What are cable outlets?

Cable outlets, also known as cable grommets, are openings in a desk that allow cables to be neatly routed and hidden away. Whilst wireless technology has advanced significantly in recent years, cables still remain an essential part of modern setups. They provide an excellent solution for keeping cables and wires out of sight, offering a tidier and more efficient workspace.

Stay Protected

Cable outlets can help prolong the lifespan of your cables by protecting them from damage, and keeping them securely in place. When cables are left loose behind a desk , they risk being damaged if the desk is pushed against a wall. Using cable outlets prevents this, ensuring your cables remain in good condition. Cable outlets can reduce wear and tear, saving the need to replace cables as frequently.

Safety first

Tucking cables away improves the safety of your desk and workspace. Loose cables and wires can pose a significant tripping hazard, and may also lead to equipment damage. If someone trips over a cable, it could pull on the equipment, potentially causing further problems. Implementing safety measures, such as using cable outlets, is crucial to prevent workplace accidents. 

Appearance

Cables can be unsightly and make your workspace look cluttered. Keeping them organised and out of sight helps improve concentration, and ensures your desk and workspace look neat and orderly. A tidy work environment allows you to focus on your work, boosting your productivity.

Get organised!

Routing cables through one single outlet prevents them from being scattered across your desk. To further improve cable organisation, you could consider adding extra components. For instance, having cable ties or cable tidy wraps in addition to your cable outlet is a great way of keeping them neatly and securely tied together.

Easy to install

In general, cable outlets are easy to install, typically slotting into the hole in the desk. This means no specialist tools or expertise are required to install them. For added peace of mind and assurance, you could use adhesive to keep it in place. Cable outlets are also rotatable, meaning you can place them in your desired position.
