Interesting that this topic comes up.
This is that I do for a living.
How many outlets per cube, how many curciuts???
As you all knoe most partitioned cubes come in panels. 1ft to 4 ft. each panel can have as much as two receps. but most cubes are small and any "returns" aren't powered witch leaves a very small amount of wall space....
But I digress. If we are installing brand new Herman Miller, the cost of an outlet power strip built in is 165.00 that gives you two duplexes per side.
So most installed only get one per cube.
three curciuts max per whip (a/b/c) three phase. each whip cost 185.00
So as you can see geting electricty to the whip is not the issue.
Also the service panels are problematic.
We had one building that required four panels to be install just for the cubes.
In existing buildings without such..is very expensive....
But lets talk old used cubes without whips.
Very popular these days because of the .COM collapse used product is very easy to get, but hard to install correctly.
Having an electrican hard wire greenfield yo a duplex box is very expensive times several dozen cubes.
We whould blame the manufactures of the cubes for charging outlandish prces and being so quick to discontinue lines of product so quickly.
just my thoughts.
