It can be mounted in two ways: clamped to the edge of the desk with the two screw clamps, without any drilling, or screwed to the underside of the desktop with the supplied wood screws.

Assembled SolidHand-CM01: black wire cable tray with a screw clamp bracket at each end

Before you start​

  • Decide how you want to mount the tray: clamped to a free desk edge (no drilling) or screwed to the underside of the desktop
  • For clamp mounting, check that the desk edge is free and that nothing under the desktop blocks the clamp jaws; the clamp plate can be moved between two positions in the bracket to suit thinner or thicker desktops
  • For screw mounting, have a Phillips screwdriver ready for the four wood screws (D)
  • The four machine screws (C) that hold the brackets to the tray are also driven with a Phillips screwdriver
caution

Before you start, check that you have received all the parts listed above. If anything is missing or damaged, contact us before assembling the tray.

Assembly​

Step 1 — Fit the brackets to the tray​

  1. Place a clamp bracket (B) at each end of the wire tray (A) so that the holes in the bracket foot line up with the holes in the tray.
  2. Fasten each bracket with two machine screws (C) from above.
Step 1: the two clamp brackets B screwed to the ends of the wire tray A with four machine screws C

Step 2, method 1 — Clamp the tray to the desk edge​

  1. Hold the tray under the desktop and slide the top hook of both brackets over the edge of the desk.
  2. If the clamp plate does not reach the underside of the desktop, move the plate to the other pair of holes in the bracket, as shown in the inset.
  3. Turn the knob of each clamp until the plate presses firmly against the underside of the desktop.
Method 1: the bracket hooked over the desk edge with the clamp screw tightened against the underside of the desktop; the inset shows the clamp plate moved between two hole positions for different desktop thicknesses

Step 2, method 2 — Screw the tray under the desktop​

  1. Hold the tray against the underside of the desktop in the chosen position and mark the two holes in the top flange of each bracket.
  2. Fasten each bracket with two wood screws (D) into the desktop.
Method 2: the top flange of the bracket B screwed to the underside of the desktop with two wood screws D

Step 3 — Lay in the power strip and cables​

  1. Place the power strip and the power supplies in the tray.
  2. Lead each cable out through the gaps between the wire loops at the point closest to the device it feeds.

Using the tray​

  • The tray carries up to 9 kg: a power strip, several power supplies and their cables
  • The wire loops on both sides are open at the top, so a cable can be lifted in or out at any point without threading it through
  • With clamp mounting, the tray can be moved along the desk edge or taken down at any time by loosening the two knobs
  • The open wire construction lets air reach power supplies that warm up in use

Safety instructions​

  1. Make sure the mounting surface is strong enough to support the tray and the equipment placed in it.
  2. Do not exceed the maximum load of 9 kg.
  3. Tighten the screws and clamp knobs firmly, but do not overtighten. Overtightening can damage the tray or the desktop.
  4. Use the product only as intended. Do not sit, stand or climb on the tray.
  5. The product is intended for indoor use only.
  6. Do not modify the construction in any way.
  7. The product may contain small parts that pose a choking hazard if swallowed. Keep them away from children.
  8. Before use, make sure that all parts are securely fastened and that the instructions have been read and understood.
  9. Check at regular intervals that the tray is secure and ready for use.

Frequently asked questions​

How is the tray mounted?
In one of two ways: clamped to the edge of the desk with the two screw clamps, without any drilling, or screwed to the underside of the desktop with the four wood screws from the kit.
Do I need to drill into the desk?
Not with clamp mounting. The brackets hook over the desk edge and the clamp screws press against the underside of the desktop. Only the screw-mounting method uses the wood screws.
Does the clamp fit thick desktops?
The clamp plate can be moved between two pairs of holes in the bracket, which changes the opening of the clamp for thinner or thicker desktops.
How much can the tray hold?
Up to 9 kg, which is enough for a power strip, several power supplies and their cables.
How do the cables get out of the tray?
The sides of the tray are open wire loops, so each cable can be lifted out between two loops at the point closest to the device it feeds.
What tools do I need?
A Phillips screwdriver for the four machine screws that hold the brackets and, with screw mounting, for the four wood screws. The clamp knobs are tightened by hand.
