Office Chain OCO

energy supply for mobile desks in top design
Organised cable routing is a must for mobile desks. With the new OCO.32.37.0, it becomes an absolute must thanks to its effortless handling. It also has a simple design that blends unobtrusively into any office. In its straight state, it is closed on one side, which makes it look more calm and tidy. The one-piece construction with concealed bolt-hole connection also ensures a harmonious appearance from the side.

In 2019, discussions began between the igus® subsidiary in the USA (igus® Inc) and a global player for office furniture also based there about a new concept for a furniture energy chain. They were currently using a self-designed, relatively lightweight cable tray. They were therefore looking for something stronger and more visually appealing to modernise their desks.

igus® pursued the project and was able to present a concept with a refined design towards the end of 2022. This impressed the office furniture manufacturer. Over the past 2.5 years, several design iterations have been made, optimising the size, strength and aesthetics of the chain and testing its function with the customer's cables inside. The current design utilises a bracket at either end that can either be screwed or attached with a special rubber coated magnet to provide additional grip on the work surface.
