Built-in Modules: Power and Data Seamlessly Integrated
A built-in module is flush-mounted into the desk or table top, providing power, data, and USB directly on the work surface — completely concealed and neatly finished. No loose power strips, no cables on the surface. At BNR Office, you will find built-in modules for office desks, conference tables, and canteen tables. Also, explore our full range of electrification & cable management.

Frequently Asked Questions about Built-in Modules
What cutout do I need for a built-in module?
Most built-in modules fit into a standard round cutout of 60 or 80 mm diameter, or a rectangular cutout. Always check the specifications of the module and the tabletop. Contact our customer service for advice.
Can I install a built-in module in an existing tabletop later?
Yes, built-in modules can also be retrofitted into existing desks and tables. This requires a cutout milled into the tabletop. BNR Office can arrange this as part of the delivery and installation.
What is the difference between a built-in module and a surface-mounted module?
A built-in module is flush-mounted into the tabletop for a flat, sleek finish. A surface-mounted module sits on top of the tabletop and does not require drilling or milling — easier to install but less sleek in appearance.
