AMP POWERFLOR

The Amp Powerflor product is a complete low profile access floor " Cable Management System " which offers a total solution for Technology Classroom requirements. It functions as an access floor located cable chase, with a completely integrated electrical power system and a completely integrated Voice / Data System. This product satisfies all connectivity standards within a low profile access floor and allows for the migration in technology that will be occurring in the future.

The access floor consists of 18" x 18" Panels 3" high, with a Carpet tile finished top surface. These panels are placed on the floor, next to each other, in both directions, wall to wall, to form a new elevated access floor surface. Perimeter pieces are field cut and used to fill in odd dimensions around the room. Ramps are provided for both A.D.A. and Non-A.D.A. access.

Electrical Power is provided with a Duplex Outlet mounted into one quarter section of the access panel ( maximum of four outlets per panel ) with a covered recessed mounting grommet ( Powerport ) resulting in a totally flush outlet, located anywhere on the floor surface. The electrical outlets are inter-connected with cable harnesses that plug into the outlet base. Cable harnesses are available in varying lengths to allow for a group of outlets to be inter-connected to the power source. The system provides four 20 amp. electrical power circuits to each outlet base. Each outlet location can receive a Duplex Outlet Insert, numerically identified as to which circuit it is powered with. This Power System offers the greatest efficiency of circuit utilization, potential in outlet locations, as well as providing total accessibility and flexibility for future, moves, additions, and changes.

Voice, Data, and other " Low Voltage " needs are satisfied with one of two options offered by Powerflor. First, where locations allow that the wire closet is located within or convenient to the space, a traditional direct cabling ( Home Run Type ) installation can be provided. Using the same floor located grommet as the power outlet, you can mount a modular data / communication outlet ( ACO ). It will provide for V / D cabling at Category 5 level, and can be terminated using EIA / TIA standards, with the cabling located beneath the floor panels. The outlet can accept 140 different types of insert jacks ( RJ-11, RJ-45, Ethernet, Thinet, etc. ) which can be inserted into the user side of the outlet. This provides easily installed and changed connectivity for all of your equipment needs. 

As a second option, and most beneficial when multiple spaces share one wire closet or when the wire closet is located a considerable distance from the space, Powerflor offers a " Local Distribution System " ( LDS ). This option includes the use of a utility center that replaces one panel in a Powerflor system with a cabinet that functions as a mini wiring closet or as a consolidation point. The utility center contains standard 19" Wire Rack Patch Panels that allow for the installation of Pre-Terminated cables through the floor, direct to the equipment. The product also offers a complete Fiberconnectivity option. 

The Amp Powerflor Cabling System offers the following benefits for a technological environment:

  • The product is provided as a complete system within a low profile access floor and minimizes construction costs and time in preparing a room for occupancy.
  • At 3" in overall height, it is ideal for the renovation of existing spaces with minimum impact to height clearance. A.D.A. approved access ramps provided in three foot lengths allowing for more usable space in the room.
  • All floor finishing issues are included as part of the product, with numerous carpet tile color selections available to choose from that address color coordination requirements.
  • The product is not attached to the building structure, so it can be purchased as a capital type expenditure (procured from different budgets as furniture and equipment or construction).
  • It provides for power, data, and communication outlets to be located in the middle of the room, without any visual obstruction ( i.e. Powerpoles, Columns, etc. ). It eliminates the need for penetrating concrete slab floors to provide these outlets ( i.e. core-drilling, duct or poke-trough installation, etc. ) It also eliminates the need for any special furniture cable raceway type items.
  • All service outlets can be relocated without professional tradespeople.
  • New Outlets can be added without professional tradespeople.
  • Connectivity changes can be made without professional tradespeople.
  • All cable servicing or replacement can be achieved quickly and inexpensively from our extensive inventory of parts.
  • The complete system can be easily and inexpensively relocated, as space allocations change. 
  • Can be purchased open market or on GSA contract.
