Connectrac Flex is a floor-based power and data distribution system that allows users to quickly add connectivity or change power locations in a snap. Flex features a low-profile raceway that is available with two installation options – under carpet tile and on top of any flooring surface. 

The Connectrac Express Kits and Flex Raceway System are two innovative products that seamlessly manage power and data cables. Express Kits are single-box kits that are ideal for applications that need a stocked, grab-and-go power/data solution with a single circuit. Flex is a more customizable 4-circuit system that features moveable power, expandable data capacity, and multiple entrance fitting options.

Flex features modular, pre-wired raceway components that support movable power, which is a huge upgrade from our classic product’s static power receptacles. This improved product is also now capable of supporting 4 power circuits completely hidden under the carpet tile. 

The Flex raceway system accommodates a 4-circuit power system. Data can easily be added in whatever quantity necessary. 

The only difference between Flex installed under carpet tile vs. on top of the flooring surface is the height of the Top Covers and the type of Transition Ramps used. All other Flex raceway components and accessories, including power and data devices, are exactly the same. 

Virtually all furniture comes with leveling glides that help with any height adjustments needed. Flex raceways are very low profile, and the ramps have a subtle transition. The maximum furniture height adjustment that might be required is approximately ½”. 

All Flex power devices, data devices, and accessories are Dark Gray, and with the Flex under-carpet system, everything else is completely hidden. The Flex on-floor system has a visible raceway on top of the flooring surface that is available in a standard Silver finish or an optional Dark Gray finish for an extra charge. 

Power devices can be spaced at any 6” increment greater than 2’ on-center using any combination of standard Powertrac lengths (2’, 3’, 4’, 5’, 6’) and 6” Powertrac Extenders. Please contact our Design Team for help creating an optimal layout for your project. 

The overall height of the installed Flex system is 0.66″

Flex raceways can be up to 75’ as measured from the Entrance Fitting at the start of the system to the end of the raceway. If more than 75’ in length is desired, simply start another Flex system with the same or an alternate entrance fitting to meet the needs of your space.

Yes, the Flex Raceway System meets ADA Accessibility Guidelines, regardless of install method. Please contact our Design Team for help creating an optimal layout for your project.

The Flex raceway is designed to withstand 250 lb. individual point loads or a 4-point load of 1,000 lbs. 

All of our Top Cover and ramp components, including our MDF Transition Ramps, are moisture resistant and can stand up to any amount of cleaning and carpet scrubbing. 

Flex devices are approved for use in Chicago and New York City. 

While many of Flex’s components include recycled content, Flex’s main sustainability contribution is how it minimizes the life-cycle impact of a building by providing future flexibility for any space. In addition to featuring movable power and easy data access, Flex is also easy to completely uninstall and reinstall elsewhere when needed. This encourages adaptive reuse by allowing ever-changing power and data needs to be accommodated without risking future damage to an existing building. 

We have AIA & IDCEC approved CEUs available that discuss how power and data challenges for agile spaces can be solved with revolutionary technology like Flex. To see if a CEU presentation can be scheduled at your location, please email us at info@connectrac.com.

Yes, Flex is tested to UL 111 standards and listed for both the US and Canada (UL and cULus). 

All Flex electrical systems are self-contained and completely grounded assemblies. Electrical contractors should always install Flex in compliance with the NEC and any applicable local codes. 

The Flex system supports a 7-wire, 4-circuit system. 

Because Flex was designed for the future!

• Both the NEC and UL require only one earth ground per raceway.
  • Per these standards the ground provided in the Flex Raceway System is sized to accommodate the circuit with the highest current (20A / 12 AWG).
  • Relevant NEC sections include 215.6, 250.32, 250.121, and 250.122. All Flex electrical components are tested to UL 111, which describes specific ground fault and short circuit tests to confirm the ground is sufficiently sized throughout.

See Connecting a Flex Hardwire Device (Wiring Details) document for more info.

Flex raceways consist of a pre-wired, 4-circuit system. While the wiring can’t be customized, we offer a variety of interchangeable power devices that connect to one or more of these circuits and can be hot-swapped when desired, offering infinite flexibility in infinite combinations. 

All wired components that make up the Flex raceway utilize 12 AWG conductors. 

The Flex system currently offers 3 power devices: 

• Receptacle Device – quad device available in various 4-circuit options 
• Hardwire Device – 4-circuit monument that connects to most furniture base feeds 
• Hubcap – creates a walkable surface and makes power easily accessible for future needs 

All of our power devices are interchangeable and can be hot-swapped when desired with a screwdriver. Simply unscrew the screws, detach the device, and snap on any of our available power devices. 

Yes. 

In compliance with California Title 24, ASHRAE 90.1, and other regulations, Flex offers split-circuit Receptacle Devices with the word “Controlled” stamped on the appropriate outlets. Half of these receptacles can be controlled by a sensor, timer, or other device as required. 

Yes, see the document below for these product details and part numbers.

Flex Plug-Controlled Receptacle Devices – Title 24

Yes, you can install a Hardwire Device at any Power Hub or Power End Hub location. 

Receptacle Devices are available in the following single- or split-circuit options: 1111, 2222, 3333, 4444, 1122, 1144, and 3344 (controlled receptacles available for split-circuit options). A 4-circuit Hardwire Device is also available to connect to most furniture base feeds or other similar application. 

The Flex raceway system is engineered to meet the various UL standards referenced in UL 111 for multioutlet assemblies, which do include scrubwater test requirements. 

Yes, the pre-wired Flex raceway inherently provides separation and shielding between the power and data cables. 

Flex raceways accommodate any type of standard low-voltage cabling, such as Cat 6, Cat 6A, fiber-optic, etc. These cables can be easily changed or upgraded simply by lifting off the raceway Top Cover to access the cabling pathway. 

Our Flex raceway system comes in different sizes to accommodate a wide range of data needs. The smallest Flex raceway footprint typically holds up to 4 cables (Cat 6, etc.) for our system installed under carpet tile and up to 6 cables for our system installed on top of the flooring surface.

For additional data capacity, Data Channels (for data cabling only) can be ganged alongside the main raceway. A huge advantage of the Flex system is that as many Data Channels as you need can be added. Each Data Channel typically holds up to 10 cables for our system installed under carpet tile and up to 18 cables for our system installed on top of the flooring surface. 

The Flex system currently offers 3 data devices: 

• Data Device – fits up to 8 low-voltage keystone modules 
• A/V Device – holds any standard double-gang faceplate 
• Grommet – allows cables to enter/exit raceway 

All of our data devices snap tightly into either a Powertrac or Data Channel and come with screws that can be used to additionally secure the device. 

Each Data Device can accommodate up to 8 standard RJ45 keystone jacks or other keystone modules. Flex also offers a Grommet option that allows cables to exit the raceway and be pulled up into a table, lectern, etc. 

Installation instructions are sent with every order and are also available here. Please contact our Design Team to help you with any installation questions. 

It takes approximately 15-20 minutes per linear foot to install Flex. This means that a complete 8’ raceway system can be fully installed – and powered up – in less than 3 hours. 

The connection of the Entrance Fitting’s pre-wired conduit to the building mains power requires a licensed electrical contractor. The rest of the Flex raceway components can be installed by a facilities team, general contractor, furniture installer, electrical contractor, or flooring contractor. 

Yes! Flex is available with two installation options – under carpet and on floor. Our hidden under-carpet system works best under carpet tile, while our visible on-floor system works great on top of any flooring surface. 

Our under-carpet system should only be installed under carpet tiles, but our on-floor system would work great on top of broadloom carpet. 

Most Flex raceway components are screwed to a concrete slab using concrete screw fasteners. However, if your system is installed under carpet tile, the MDF Transition Ramps are attached with pin-anchors per the installation instructions. Construction adhesive can be used for positioning. 

We recommend using Liquid Nails Heavy Duty Construction Adhesive or equivalent. 

Powertracs and Power Hubs are pre-wired at set lengths and cannot be cut. However, all Data Channels, Top Covers, and Transition Ramps can be cut to size in the field. 

Yes! One of the greatest benefits of the Flex system is that it can easily be moved and adapted as needed. Any changes to the wiring connection at the Entrance Fitting will require a licensed electrician, and if your system is installed under carpet tile, the glued-down MDF Transition Ramps will need to be replaced. However, all other raceway components can simply be unscrewed and relocated. 

Flex would ideally be installed during the electrical rough-in phase, before carpet tiling. That said, Flex can easily be integrated at any point during the construction timeline for both retrofit or new construction projects. 

Yes, Flex can be installed at any point during your project. 

Yes! One of the many great things about Flex is that the installation can easily be made in a quick and hassle-free way that is nondisruptive to building occupants. 

Yes, the entire Flex system is very flexible and adaptable. You can easily extend the length of any Flex raceway by adding additional Powertracs and Power Hubs. 

The Flex system starts every raceway with an Entrance Fitting at the wall. This quick connector powers the entire Flex raceway by converting the building mains power to the Flex 4-circuit power system. After the Entrance Fitting is installed, it is connected to a Powertrac to begin the Flex raceway run. 

• An In-Wall Entrance Fitting is used when power/data cabling is running INSIDE the wall. It is mounted to the base of the wall inside the wall cavity and comes attached to a flexible steel conduit that is pre-wired. This pre-wired conduit runs up inside the wall cavity to connect to a junction box.
• A Surface-Mounted Entrance Fitting is used when power/data cabling is running OUTSIDE the wall. It is mounted to the base of the wall and comes attached to a flexible steel conduit that is pre-wired. This pre-wired conduit runs up the wall in the included Walltrac to connect to a junction box.

• A Wall Raceway Transition Entrance Fitting is used when power/data cabling is running from a 2400 or 4000 Series Wall-Mounted Raceway to the Flex System. It is mounted to the base of the wall where the raceway ends and Flex begins.

• A Poke-Thru Entrance Fitting is used when power/data cabling is running under the floor. It is installed on top of the Poke-Thru Transition and allows the Flex System to start from anywhere in an open space. This pre-wired conduit runs down into the floor to connect to a junction box.

The Flex system can be started from a 4″ poke-thru entrance that can provide both power and data to the system. The specially-designed poke-thru provides an entrance fitting that connects to a power hub or a powertrac corner, from which the rest of the raceway can be built.

Yes, we have a 3’ Surface-Mounted Entrance Fitting available to connect your Flex raceway to an existing wall outlet box.
