Overview

Product Presentation

FreeAxez is an award winning, patented, all steel, quick-connect, low profile access floor that breaks the mold of the traditional raised access floor. FreeAxez provides unparalleled capacity and flexibility for the modern office and high technology environment, saving life cycle costs and improving workplace efficiency.

Applications

FreeAxez is designed for the general office environment, not just for data centers or computer rooms; it is intended to be installed under every desk. FreeAxez is ideal for the distribution of power, voice, and data cables for new construction as well as retrofit. Over 20 million square feet has been installed worldwide for a diverse set of applications such as the general office, conference rooms, training rooms, retail, hospitals, theatres, casinos, museums, labs/manufacturing centers, TV/radio studios, banking centers, emergency dispatch, court rooms and financial buildings.

Features

All Steel: Double 16 gauge zinc galvanized steel. High durability and high strength.

Quick-Connect: Components snap together without glue, screws or fasteners. The system installs 3.5 times faster than the industry average for raised floors.

Low Profile: Available in 2 models:

• FreeAxez 40 is 1.6" high (lowest on the market) with 1.25" of useable space
• FreeAxez 70 is 2.75" high with 2.40" of useable space

High Capacity: Large cable capacity with organized channels for cable runs. FreeAxez 40 has capacity for 50 CAT 5 cables at 40% every 15.5 inches. FreeAxez 70 has capacity for 90 CAT 5 cables at 40% every 15.5 inches. Optional wiring base units are available that can triple the capacity in high cable density areas.

FreeAxez does not create a Plenum

In virtually every other raised access floor in existence, the panels are installed ‘edge-to-edge’, creating a plenum space. This contained airspace can allow HVAC, but also requires fire suppression in most cases.

The FreeAxez design of quick-connect components assembles without the need for glue, screws, fasteners, or tools. The base units have 34 integrated support legs, and small holes strategically located for sound deadening, creating a solid and virtually silent walking surface. These holes, combined with the small gaps at connection points, permit airflow. Since the air space under the floor is the same environment as the free air space above the floor, FreeAxez does not create a plenum. FreeAxez is not intended as a duct, plenum or air handling space; accordingly, non-plenum rated cabling is permitted under the FreeAxez floor.
