Compact, Easy-to-Install Overfloor Raceway

Legrand/Wiremold introduces the smallest, lowest, narrowest, and ADA-compliant overfloor raceway system.  Designed for relocatable or permanent installations where access through floors and ceilings is not an option, the Wiremold® OFR Series Overfloor Raceway System provides four channels of capacity and access A/V connectivity.

Unlike some products, this overfloor raceway system attaches directly to floor covering, including carpet, tile, and wood.  Installers do not have to remove or cut into existing floor coverings. The textured black powder coat finish resists scuffing and scratches, is paintable, and blends well with many floor coverings.  The raceway cover is difficult to remove without the proper tools, discouraging unwanted access.

The OFR Series Overfloor Raceway System includes transition fittings to feed from Wiremold DS4000™, 4000®, and 2400™ Series wall-mounted raceways, as well as from Vista® Point5 Architectural Columns. OFR Series Overfloor Raceway accepts Wiremold Open System device plates that provide connectivity to a wide range of devices from leading A/V providers.
