Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cable raceway?
A cable raceway is a channel or conduit that runs along walls or baseboards to hide and protect cables. They typically have a snap-open or hinged design so you can add or remove cables without disassembling. J-channel raceways have an open side that faces the wall, with cables tucked inside. They're ideal for running cables from a desk to a wall outlet or between rooms.
What is the difference between a cable tray and cable box?
A cable tray mounts under your desk and holds cables in an open or mesh enclosure—cables are visible but organized. A cable box is a closed container that hides cables and power strips completely. Trays are better for ventilation and easy access; boxes are better for hiding the mess entirely. Many setups use both: a tray under the desk for device cables, and a box on the floor for the power strip.
How many cables can a braided sleeve hold?
Expandable braided sleeves typically hold 4–8 standard cables (power cords, USB, HDMI) depending on thickness. The Brakeless and similar sleeves expand from about 0.5 to 1.5 inches in diameter. For more cables, use multiple sleeves or a raceway. Sleeves work best for the main desk-to-outlet run rather than the entire cable nest.
