How to choose a FAMO UM cable channel
Match the channel to the workstation shape
Begin with the layout rather than the color. The UCE13 is described for U-layout workstations, while the UCE11 is described for U-shaped workstations. Check the terminology used for your workstation and confirm which configuration it follows. If your office plan or product documentation uses a different description, verify compatibility before selecting a model.
This is especially useful when outfitting several desks. Make a note of the layout for each workstation, as a room may include more than one configuration. Choosing by layout first can help prevent a visually suitable channel from being selected for the wrong setup.
Confirm the width you need
Four widths are listed across the collection: 70, 90, 110 and 130 cm. Compare these options with the relevant workstation and the cable-routing area you need to address. Do not assume that the listed width is the overall desk width or the usable routing length; check the product details or ask for clarification about how the dimension is measured.
For a multi-desk order, record the required width for each workstation rather than relying on a single estimate for the whole room. This simple check helps keep the specification consistent with the actual furniture plan.
Choose a color for the wider workspace
The listed color choices are beige, black, green, grey, brown, gold, orange, red and white. Consider the channel alongside the desk and surrounding office finishes. A neutral shade may blend into a restrained palette, while a brighter color can make the accessory more visible. Color availability may vary by model, so confirm the options for the specific channel you select.
Check before placing an order
- Identify whether the workstation is U-layout or U-shaped, then select the corresponding model.
- Confirm the width measurement and how it relates to your workstation configuration.
- Verify the color offered for the chosen model and width.
- If the office includes multiple workstation layouts, check each setup individually.
FAMO lists the origin as available on request, so ask if origin information is relevant to your purchasing requirements. Myntwork offers these FAMO UM products on a monthly lease, giving businesses a leasing option when planning workstation accessories. Review the configuration details before proceeding so the selected channel fits the workspace you are equipping.
