Network Socket BackBoxes

[TekkyMatt]

Hi, I've tried to find what I am looking for in the usual places but I am starting to think I dreamed this product up. We have rooms where the network sockets are on the benches and are vertical facing i.e the cable goes in vertical ( _I_ ) rather than horizontal as they would on a wall (--I). Can I get angled backboxes for the faceplates that still screw down onto the benches but angle the faceplate so they are no longer prone to vandalism and heavy handed people ??

 

I am sure I have seem them somewhere, please dont say im having IT dreams again

Yes it does exist, I think I know what you're talking about. A 10 minute google and I found this. If you click on Technology Furniture, is this what you're after?

 

A table with trunking attached, at an angle?

Not sure if it is exactly what you want, but you can get 45 degree trunking and use conventional boxes/faceplates?

Don't know if this is what you are looking for but CPC do 45 degree stand alone bench units in either 1 gang, 2 gang or 1 + 2 gang. Order numbers are PL01147, PL01148, PL01149

Thanks c-r-h, thats EXACTLY what I am looking for but sadly thats a price that I am unwilling to pay. The problem is that the angle plates would basically rule out the so-called accidents that this one room seems to have with their current sockets and prove it as the wanton vandalism I think it is.

But i'm broke......
