BASE LEG ASSEMBLY

Leg assemblies are constructed with 14-gauge  flat oval tubing, which is formed using a CNC tube  bender and features arc welded connections. The leg  assembly consists of two components, one stand  alone leg assembly and one leg/cabinet assembly.  The stand alone leg assembly includes a cross bar for  added strength and mounts to the underside of the left  or right side of the work surface with a metal-to-metal  screw connection through a 14-gauge steel plate.  The leg/cabinet assembly consists of an 18-gauge  welded cabinet assembly with 14-gauge flat oval  tube frame on either end. The leg/cabinet assembly  mounts to the left or right side of the work surface  with metal-to-metal screw connections. An 18-gauge  steel modesty doubles as a cord management bin and  connects between the stand-alone leg and leg/cabinet  assemblies. The base leg assembly includes two 2.5”  diameter twin wheel casters, all with locking brakes.

BASE TECHNOLOGY CABINET ASSEMBLY

The cabinet is constructed from arc welded 18-gauge  steel and supported within a 14-gauge flat oval tubing  frame. The tube frame wraps around the outer edges  of the cabinet and forms three base support legs  with 2.5” diameter twin wheel casters, all with locking  brakes. The inside tube leg base support is centered  front to back to provided an unobstructed footpath for  the user when seated at the desk. The cabinet features  front and rear locking doors for access to equipment,  power and data cables and is mounted to the left or  right side as specified by the model number ordered.  Cabinet construction is universal and front and rear  doors are reversible enabling the cabinet to be re-  mounted to the opposite side of the work surface. The  top and bottom panels are perforated to ventilate heat  from electronics and the top panel includes circular  1-1/2” diameter grommet holes that line up with the  work surface grommet, to enable cords to feed into the  cabinet from above. The left and right panels feature  a 1-1/2” diameter grommet to allow cords to exit the  side or pass into the cord bin/modesty panel. On each  side of the cabinet is a cut out for a optional dual gang  pass through plate. The plate can be ordered through  Bretford or aftermarket. When the dual gang pass  through plate is not used, a cover plate is provided  to position over the cut out. The interior includes a  19” rack mount assembly with 10 units spacing for  rack-mounted equipment and one accessory shelf  for non-rack mounted components. The accessory  shelf is height adjustable on the rack mount rails and  is 17-1/2"W x 14-1/2"D and a minimal of 3-1/2"H, and  require 2 unit spacing. Front door uses a cantilevered  key/combination lock mechanism and rear door uses  a key lock. All locks are keyed alike. Both front and  rear doors attach using a full-length piano hinge. Three  numerical combination is user programmable and may  be over-ridden and re-set using the key.

DESK WORK SURFACE WITH GROMMET HOLES

Work surfaces feature a 1" thick 45 lb. density core  with .03” high-pressure laminate top and a .03" backer.  Work surfaces feature a 1-1/2"W x 4"D grommet  hole at the rear corners to enable cables to pass  into the modesty/cord bin or technology cabinet.  The underside of the work surface includes 16 metal  inserts that align with the leg mounting plates and  allows for a strong metal-to-metal connection.

DESK WORK SURFACE WITH GROMMET AND FLUID UP POWER

Work surfaces feature a 1" thick 45 lb. density core  with .03" high-pressure laminate top and a .03" backer.  Work surfaces feature cut outs in the rear corners  with one 1-1/2"W x 4”D grommet hole and one 8”W  x 4"D with 1/8" corner radii to accommodate a Fluid  up power unit. Fluid up power modules are included,  specify power version at the time of order. Orientation  of the smaller grommet cut out is always above the  lower technology cabinet as specified by the model  number ordered. The underside of the work surface  includes 16 metal inserts that align with the leg  mounting plates and allows for a strong  metal-to-metal connection.

MODESTY PANEL AND CORD MANAGEMENT

A 10-1/2"H x 3-1/4"D modesty panels double as a  J channel cord management raceway with 1-5/8"H  front lip. Panel is constructed from 18-gauge steel  and covers the distance between the leg upright and  the technology cabinet and formed to follow the arc  of the upper leg tubes. Access to power and cord  management is available from the underside of the  work surface. The modesty panel mounts to the left  or right side of the work surface depending upon  technology cabinet placement.

WORK SURFACE EDGE

Tables with edge detail 01 have a 3mm  thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) t-mold edge  band, which runs the entire perimeter of the work  surface. Tables with edge detail 17 have a 2mm  polypropylene (PP) bumper and sealed MDF  bevel cut away at a reverse 45º angle. Tables with  edge details 18 and 19 are an injection formed  polyurethane (PU) bumper with a 45º reverse cut  away or quarter round edge.

FLUID UP POWER COMPONENTS

Each table includes a Fluid up power module, specify  power version at the time of order. Stand alone Fluid  power modules are suggested over daisy chain  modules. Daisy chain Fluid up power modules require  the additional purchase of power infeed and bypass  jumper cables.

FINISH OPTIONS

Instructor technology desks feature a two-tone paint.  Tables may be ordered in any standard laminate, trim,  and powder paint offered by Bretford. Two tone paints  are specified by indicating the cabinet/modesty panel  paint color first and the tube paint color second.

CONSTRUCTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING

Using in-house or third party verification, many  Bretford products are tested to meet or exceed  the appropriate ANSI/BIFMA x5.5-2008 standards  for durability and safety. CarbonNeutral  certified product. EXPLORE  ®  Instructor Tech Desk  has achieved GREENGUARD GOLD Certification.  TPE, PP and PU are non-toxic, additive and  phthalate free, and recyclable at the end of  the product life cycle. In landfill conditions  TPE will break down, releasing only water and  biodegradable components. PP and PU will  remain inert in landfill conditions. All edge  options are environmentally preferred to polyvinyl  chloride (PVC). PVC is constructed with chlorine  and when burned omits toxic byproducts such  as dioxins, chlorocarbons and hydrochloric  acid. Additionally PVC is constructed using a  significant amount of lead, which is highly toxic  during the product life cycle and after disposal.

RECYCLED CONTENT

Tables are constructed with a steel base that is  comprised of a minimal 25% to 35% post-consumer  recycled material. All steel components are completely  recyclable at the end of the product life cycle. Work  surfaces with HPL have an MDF substrate constructed  with an average of 70% recycled content.

RACK MOUNT CHARGER SHELF

The charging shelf supports the storage and  charging of up to six mobile devices and is designed  to mount to 19” rack mount rails. Each shelf includes  a UL Listed, 12-outlet power strip with on/off switch  and overload protection, and a 20-foot power cord.  Power strips will accommodate six plugs with built  in adapter units. The support shelf is constructed  from 16-gauge steel and the backstop plate is  constructed from 18-gauge steel. Divider panels  are constructed from lightweight plastic and are  removable for larger items.  Overall dimensions = 10-1/2”H x 17”D x 17-1/4”W  Dimensions above shelf = 7-1/4”H  Dimensions below shelf = 3”H  Rack units used = 6 units minimal, (size of  technology stored may require additional unit space.)  Equipment storage slots = 13-1/8”D x 1-1/4”W  Plastic divider panels = 7”H
