Patented telescoping rail system

Telescopes to fit any desk size

Other power and data rails require matching desks to fixed rail lengths and heights, limiting future design changes. The UPLIFT Power & Data Rail's patented telescoping design, with independent adjustment of post height and rail width, suits all desk sizes and enables changes on the fly as desks are installed and reconfigured. 

Two rail size options accommodate desks ranging from 35" to 83" wide. Adjustable height posts prevent rails from interfering with desks and accessories, like monitor arms, while optimizing privacy panel height.

Benching

For desks of any make, simply adjust the leveling glides and set the desk feet on top of the flat, low-profile post feet of the Power & Data rail.

City of Chicago exclusion

While the Byrne 8-Trac system is UL certified, the city of Chicago does not allow the use of modular power systems. All electrical components for systems furniture in Chicago must be hardwired by a licensed electrician. Therefore, plug-and-play systems such as this, or any other Power & Data Rail system are not compliant in Chicago. For more information, please contact a licensed electrician who is familiar with Chicago office requirements.

Add optional Acoustic or Frosted Acrylic Privacy Panels to the Power & Data Rail to reduce distractions and increase privacy and focus.

Reduce noise

PET Acoustic Privacy Panels have a Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) rating of 0.85 which means they capture 85% of the sound that hits them.

Enhance privacy

The Frosted Acrylic Privacy Panels offer a modern, professional appearance that blends well with office decor. The frosted finish adds a subtle texture and elegance, allowing light to pass through while softening glare.

Uniform height

Privacy panels attached to Power & Data Rails present a uniform appearance and height across the office. Acoustic or Frosted Acrylic Privacy Panels can also attach directly to height adjustable desks, allowing them to move up and down with the desks.

Polished privacy

Gallery Panel

Gallery Panels create bookends for the Power & Data Rail system, creating visual separation between adjacent aisles.  Gallery Panels effortlessly integrate with new and existing installations, attaching directly to the end posts of Power & Data Rail rows.

Gallery Panels are available for single and dual rows of 24" or 30" deep desks, ensuring a perfect fit for any workspace configuration. Choose from a wide variety of premium laminate color options for a perfect match with desktops, or choose a striking and contrasting color.
