How to organize cables within a control room console

Axel Trujillo

Managing cables within a control console can be a daunting task, but it's essential for maintaining an organized and efficient workspace. Whether you're setting up a new console or optimizing an existing one, understanding the best practices for cable management can make a significant difference. In this blog, we'll explore various strategies and systems designed to help you manage cables effectively, ensuring a clean and professional setup.


Wall System

In a typical setup, power is supplied through the floor or wall to cable raceways, which are easily accessible. There are two different power layouts: Power Distribution Units (PDU) and electrical raceways, each with separate circuits. Transit consoles can be installed on the wall for maximum efficiency and cable management.


Two Wall Systems to Meet Your Needs:


  1. HD Wall System:

    • Equipped with power and data network raceways to house cables both horizontally and vertically.

    • Allows routing of cables from one side of the console to the other.

    • Power solutions can be installed within these raceways.

    • Removable finishing panels ensure a clean and organized look by hiding all components.

  2. LITE Wall System:

    • A more compact option than the HD Walls, with 2” less thickness.

    • Offers instant access to power outlets through cut-outs in the panels.

    • Removable finishing panels maintain a clean and organized appearance.


Focal Adjustment

Cables are routed through monitor arms until they reach the cable chains at the base of the focal adjustment array, where they are collected. Once at the back, cables remain accessible, and any slack is already accounted for.


Cable Chain

Cables come up through the cable chain, with slack accounted for. Once they reach the surface, metal pieces with cut-outs allow cables to run through, connecting monitors, keypads, and other devices. These cables then go towards the grommet hole and connect the top of the work surfaces with the CPU enclosures.
