Cable management options
Consulting a site planning expert to choose a cable management solution for your gym.
The space between the machine base and the floor varies by machine type:
Vision (M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, M7, M8, M15, M16, M17, M18, M19, M20)
(Plastic base)
Series 3 (M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, M7, M15, M17, M18, M19, M20)
Vision (M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, M7, M8, M15, M16, M17, M18, M19, M20)
(Metal base)
Sockets and LAN connections are in a housing box, installed behind or between machines.
Advantages
Minimal additional space required, making it a practical option for existing facilities.
Cabling is mostly hidden.
Considerations
Machines must be positioned side-by-side.
The housing boxes could be a trip hazard.
Sockets and LAN connections are installed in floor boxes.
Advantages
Floor sockets are suitable for any machine layout.
Cabling is mostly hidden, except for the cable from the floor box to the machine.
No additional space required, making it a practical option for existing facilities.
Considerations
Floor box positions must match the final machine layout.
Floor recesses may not be permitted or possible.
Sockets and LAN connections are integrated into a raised platform.
Advantages
Floor sockets are suitable for any machine layout.
Cabling is mostly hidden, except for the cable from the floor box to the machine.
No additional space required, making it a practical option for existing facilities.
Considerations
The raised platform could be a trip hazard.
Floor box positions must match the final machine layout.
Power and LAN cables are routed through cable trunking.
Advantages
No additional space required, making it a practical option for existing facilities.
Cable trunking can be installed quickly.
Considerations
Cable trunking has limited space for cables.
The trunking must be firmly attached to the floor.
The color can be noticeable against the floor.
The power and LAN cables are routed vertically through tubing.
Advantages
Tubing is suitable for any machine layout.
Cabling is mostly hidden.
Minimal additional space required.
Considerations
Tubing must be placed carefully to avoid creating an obstruction.
The tubing is visible and changes the appearance of a room.
Caution
Do not install EGYM machines over surface-mounted floor sockets. There is not enough space underneath the machine and this may cause damage.
