Cablescallops provide space forplugs to pass over the backedge of the worksurface..1"5"Cable scallop includes aplastic insert. On laminateworksurfaces, plastic color isdetermined by the color youspecify for the edges. Onwood veneer worksurfaces,cable scallop is available inblack plastic only.cSee page 606 for scallopcolor defaults.Cable scallop can beomitted for freestandingapplications or panel-supportedapplications whereplugs do not need to passover the back edge of theworksurface.Cable managementdevices are available tohelp manage conventionaland fiber-optic cablesbeneath the worksurface.cSee page 205,Worksurface Power andCommunication.Surface MaterialsLaminate Worksurfaces• Laminate• Accent laminate (option)A family of pre-approved,non-Steelcase laminatesthat reflect the latest trendsin color.cSee Surface MaterialsReference Manual.• Open Line laminate(option)A program including non-Steelcase laminates whichare suitable for use onSteelcase products.cSee Surface MaterialsReference Manual.Front (user’s) edge(s)• Vinyl (plastic)Back and side edges• Plastic color default tomatch user’s edgeCable scallop• Plastic color default tocomplement user’s edge.Wood VeneerWorksurfaces• Wood veneer (standard)• Customiz stain (option)• Full-fill finish (option)Square (3 mm) edgeprofile• Wood veneer to matchworksurfaceFront (user’s) edge(s)• Wood edge bandCable scallop• Plastic: black onlyApplication TopicsP-Edge ProfileApplication RulesP-edge profiles will producea valley when installedperpendicular to adjacentworksurfaces.

Identicalworksurfaces ordered on thesame line item are packedon pallets containing 10–20worksurfaces. Remainingworksurfaces are packedindividually in cartons. If palletizingis not desired, orderin quantities of nine or lessper line item. For maximumunload efficiency, utilizepallet handling equipment atjob site whenever possible.Wood veneer worksurfacescannot be palletized..WorksurfacesAnswer Solutions Specification Guide 109
