Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable management tray employs a two-piece design with an inner and outer tray that slide to achieve three fixed length positions: 2.6 feet (0.8 meters), 3.3 feet (1 meter), and 3.9 feet (1.2 meters). The adjustment mechanism uses included M5 screws to secure the selected length, providing stability even when fully extended.
The clamp system incorporates foam padding to protect desk surfaces and rubberized grips to prevent slipping. Cable management slots along the tray edges allow for organized routing and separation of different cable types. The 4.1-inch wide tray profile accommodates larger power strips and multiple cable bundles while maintaining a low-profile appearance under the desk.
