It\u2019s typically only roughly 5 inches over the concrete slab. Carpets are laid in tiles over these raised floor panels. You run your wires under this floor and above the concrete slab in little ditches so all the wires are run together. An IT/ data installer will run these network/phone wires, and have them come out wherever there is a desk. This is done prior to furniture being installed. The power cables are run this same way, and in most new office furniture, the desk will have the outlet you plug into. With new office design you often have the company issued laptop power cords run this way as well, so anyone can use any workstation (hot-desking). \n\nIf you walk through a recently vacated office, you can see all the desks gone, and power strips on the floor at every place there was a desk.", "replies": [{"id": "g2nuq93", "text": "5 inches is 12.7 cm", "replies": [], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}]
