Wiremold RC9 Furniture Feed Poke-Thru Insert Stem Disposable Plate

The Wiremold RC9 Furniture Feed Poke-Thru Insert Stem Disposable Plate is a purpose-built solution for clean, professional cable management in modern workspaces. Engineered to feed power and communication services through furniture surfaces, this insert pairs seamlessly with RC9CFFTC Series Covers to form a complete poke-thru assembly that looks integrated and polished, while delivering dependable cable routing. Its two conduit openings—a 1 1/4" and a 1/2" trade size—enable you to separate and organize high‑current power lines from data, telecom, and AV cables, reducing interference and making future upgrades simpler. The disposable plate design means you can swap out the plate without tearing apart the entire poke-thru system, dramatically reducing downtime during remodels, reconfigurations, or technology refresh cycles. This insert is specifically designed for furniture applications and requires a 3" (76 mm) diameter hole, offering a compact, low-profile footprint that preserves surface aesthetics while meeting practical cable management needs. Importantly, it is not designed to work with bare concrete, ensuring that installation occurs in appropriate substrates and avoiding issues with stability or sealing. The RC9 family is renowned for its robust, modular approach to cable management, enabling flexible configurations—from a single desk to multi-user workstations and conference rooms—without compromising on safety or accessibility. By accommodating both power and data within distinct conduits, the RC9 Furniture Feed Poke-Thru Insert Stem Disposable Plate supports contemporary work environments that rely on reliable energy access and high-speed information flow, all while maintaining a tidy, professional appearance that enhances the overall workspace experience.
