Power & Data Rail
upCentric Power & Data Rail is designed to optimize oorplans with a clean and tidy look by providing organized power &
data for each individual desk. upCentric Power & Data Rail eliminates the need for messy wires on the oor, reducing trip
hazards and improving workplace safety.
The Byrne 8-Trac system is employed for the Power and Data Rail, incorporating UL-recognized electrical elements. It
features fast-connect components, streamlining the installation process for speed and ease. Utilizing the hardwire power
infeed enables the connection of either 12 rails or up to 24 desks.

Step 3: Assemble the rst rail - “Power Infeed Rail”
a) Hook both ends of the rst rail to your power infeed leg and to the
next leg in the layout.
b) Attach rail to legs with pan head screws (R).
Note: When building a single rail system and the second leg is an
End Leg, proceed to step 7.

Step 5: Install Jumpers to interconnect all rails:
a. Begin with the First Rail and install a Jumper between the rst
and second rail. Run the Jumper through the connector leg,
and attach each end to the nearest Junction Block (D).
b. Repeat this process until every rail in the system is connected
to the Power Infeed Rail.

Step 6: Install Leg Divider Plates:
Place the leg divider plates into all connector legs, ensuring that the tabs
rest on top of the Data Cable Troughs in the rails, eectively covering all
Power Jumpers.

Step 7: Connect and test the system:
Note: Power Infeed Cable must be installed before performing this step.
Power Infeeds must be installed by a licensed electrician. Please see Power
Infeed Electrical Installation guide for details.
Wall Power Infeed:
a) Route the Power Infeed Cable into the system through the lower opening
on the Infeed plate and connect it to the rst power block.
b) Test all Duplexes to ensure proper connectivity and functionality.

i. Position the ceiling pole on top of the CPI leg, inserting the four posts into
the corresponding holes at the bottom.
ii. Secure the pole to the ceiling using the Ceiling bracket (T). Attach ceiling
bracket to T-frame ceiling directly above power leg. Use velcro strap to hold
power pole in place.
Note: Keep the Velcro strap slightly loose to allow for lifting.
iii. Route the power cable into the top of the pole and run it through to the end,
where it enters the First Rail and connects to the power block.
Note: It may be necessary to lift the ceiling pole o the leg to access the wire
and properly run it into the system.

Step 8: Run Data Cable into the Rail System
(Skip to step 9 if data cables are not used with the rail)
a) Wall Power Infeed Legs:
i. Feed the Ethernet Cables into the system through the upper
opening on the Infeed plate.
ii. Run the cables through the upper channel in the Power & Data Rail system,
ensuring that the Ethernet endings reach their intended locations (refer to layout
for larger systems). Leave approximately 6”-12” of slack for each cable.
iii. Utilize wire the Data Cable Support Clip (E) to secure the wires to the top of the
upper channel as you run them through the system, ensuring they remain in place.

b. CPI Legs:
i. Feed the Ethernet cables down the Ceiling pole, using the channel
opposite the power cable.
ii. Pull the cables down through the pole and into the First Rail and
through entire system
iii. Run the cables through the upper channel in the Power & Data Rail system,
ensuring that the Ethernet endings reach their intended locations (refer to layout
for larger systems). Leave approximately 6”-12” of slack for each cable.
iv. Utilize wire the Data Cable Support Clip (E) to secure the wires to the top of the upper
channel as you run them through the system, ensuring they remain in place.
Note: It may be necessary to loosen the power pole ceiling bracket and lift the ceiling pole o the
leg to facilitate the pulling of all Data cables.

Step 9: Install Cover Panels
a) Run wires through openings in the Voice/Data Plate (H) in the cover panel, then reinstall the cover panel.
b) Use adaptors from VGA adaptor Kits (F) to t ethernet cable ends into the Voice/Data Plate.
c) Cover all unused data port windows with solid window covers from VGA kits
Step 10: Installing Leg Caps:
Install the leg caps to provide a nished appearance and protection to the leg ends.
