Installation Scenarios Traditional Raised Floor - Fixed Configuration Requirements Electrical work will span the entire floorplan, in hard conduit Three circuits terminated at every console in j-boxes, multiple outlets wired into consoles after installation Strong coordination between trades before, during, and after console installation Assumptions 3 circuits to each console (2 UPS and 1 House) Cables travel below the raised flooring
Installation Scenarios PowerLinc Raised Floor - Reconfigurable Advantages Wiring connections happen in electrical closet by electrician. Plug & Play connections from walls to consoles by installer Instantly powered systems No checking for proper wiring Reduced electrician costs Assumptions 3 circuits to each console (2 UPS, 1 House) Armored Cables travel under the raised flooring
Installation Scenarios Traditional Slab Floor Assumptions False ceilings and floors available for conduit and cables Consoles can share power Requirements Cores drilled for each console Drilling process is disruptive Time consuming installation Expensive process
Installation Scenarios PowerLinc for Slab Floor Advantages Fewer cores drilled Less disruption of other floors Reduced overall costs Less time needed to install

PowerLinc Ratings Robust Technology Integrating PowerLinc ensures the client’s power distribution is compliant with these ratings.
PowerLinc Console Integration OVERVIEW PowerLinc Console Integration
RAISED FLOOR / MAIN POWER ROUTING System Design Console Integration PowerLinc systems are compact and easily placed within console frames and under flooring. POWERLINC HUB RAISED FLOOR / MAIN POWER ROUTING POWERLINC JUNCTION BOX
System Design Console Wiring PowerLinc systems are pre-wired within the consoles to connect as soon as they arrive on site. PowerLinc Cable Routing Equipment Cable from Outlets 2x3 PowerLinc Hub
System Design High-powered Systems High powered consoles take advantage of expandable connections and direct access to all circuits. Run high demand configurations with environmental systems, heavy load lifts and large monitor groupings.
PowerLinc Overview Modular Wiring Multiple access points to the junction box distribute power easily between widely spaced designs. Easily reconfigured power connections can follow design changes and console moves.
PowerLinc Overview Connected Consoles Circuits can easily extend through rows of consoles without the need for new wiring systems. Pick and choose from circuits for each console to keep electrical loads balanced and safe.
