Product Presentation
FreeAxez is a patented all steel, quick-connect
low profile access floor - the strongest, most adaptable and most
cost-effective available in the world today. 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 12 million square feet installed worldwide
in offices, computing facilities, training / conference rooms, universities,
equipment rooms, trading floors, manufacturing centers, hospitals,
pharmaceutical research centers, banking centers, casinos, museums, emergency operations / 911 call centers,
libraries, and military field command and control.
Features
All Steel: Double 16 gauge zinc galvanized steel. High
durability and high strength; supports concentrated loads up to 1900+ PSI.
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: Avalilable 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.
Green: FreeAxez is the low-profile access floor listed in the GreenSpec directory of environmentally preferred
products. Owners and Designers gain LEED credits by specifying FreeAxez. Key
Green attributes include:
- Approved for non plenum-rated cable
- Promotes Building Re-Use and Preservation
- Recycles and Reusable
- Refundable via a Buyback Program
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.
