Features
PATHFINDER provides an ideal solution where power and data services are distributed in the ceiling. Using our custom designed Ceiling Collar and Desk Flange, Pathfinder provides TOTAL CABLE PROTECTION from ceiling plenum to QikTray cable tray.
Ceiling to desk umbilicals allow greater freedom for desk positioning (below ceiling apertures), than solid power poles, where CAD floorplans and on-site installation inevitably differ.
PATHFINDER Ceiling Collar gives a clean finished look when Pathfinder drops through false ceilings. Designed to split in half, the Ceiling Collar can be clipped around Pathfinder after it has been hung and cables ‘zipped in’.
PATHFINDER’s Desk Flange simply clips into a 4” (102mm) aperture, securing the base and allowing cables safe passage into QikTray cable tray under the desk.
Technical Info
Top Mount
PATHFINDER Top Mount can be: screwed to the underside of a desktop or meeting table; snapped into a .98”(25mm) hole in steel/plastic panels (such as QikTray Adaptor); or, (with integrated wire gripper), used to tension a ceiling hung umbilical.
Bottom Mount
The PATHFINDER Bottom Mount can be; screwed to any suitable surface; used with the Pathfinder Weighted Base; or, clipped into the Pathfinder Desk Flange for ceiling hung applications.
Weighted Base
PATHFINDER Bottom Mount can be: screwed to any suitable surface; used with the Pathfinder Weighted Base; or, clipped into the Pathfinder Desk Flange for ceiling hung applications.
Floor Grommet
PATHFINDER Floor Grommet is the first of its kind to enable TOTAL CABLE PROTECTION from desk to underfloor when used in conjunction with Pathfinder Umbilical.
Designed to fit into industry standard 5 inch / 125-128mm cutouts, the Pathfinder Floor Grommet can be used as a conventional floor pass-thru, allowing power / data cabling, including .63” (16mm) flexible conduit, to exit via the Side Lids.
But, if used in conjunction with Pathfinder Umbilical, using Pathfinder Grommet Adaptor, it can even accommodate multiple .8”-1” (20mm / 25mm) data conduits as well.
QikTray Adapter
QikTray Adapter can also be used on compatible trays. Check with OE Electrics outside these sizes for alternative/bespoke brackets.

Standard Installation

- Rigid unbilicolumn
- QikTray Adapter
Top Mount
PATHFINDER Top Mount can be: screwed to the underside of a desktop or meeting table; snapped into a .98”(25mm) hole in steel/plastic panels (such as QikTray Adapter); or, (with integrated wire gripper), used to tension a ceiling hung umbilical.
Bottom Mount
The PATHFINDER Bottom Mount can be; screwed to any suitable surface; used with the Pathfinder Weighted Base; or, clipped into the Pathfinder Desk Flange for ceiling hung applications.
Umbili-column
Where a rigid umbili-column is required, support rods can be used to limit, or even prevent flexing. This feature also allows users to be creative in the shape of Pathfinder routing ie. spiral.
QikTray Adapter
QikTray Adapter can also be used on compatible trays. Check with OE Electrics outside these sizes for alternative/bespoke brackets.
Floor Grommet
PATHFINDER Floor Grommet is the first of its kind to enable TOTAL CABLE PROTECTION from desk to underfloor when used in conjunction with Pathfinder Umbilical.
Designed to fit into industry-standard 5″ / 125-128mm cutouts, the Pathfinder Floor Grommet can be used as a conventional floor pass-thru, allowing power/data cabling, including .63” (16mm) flexible conduit, to exit via the Side Lids.
But, if used in conjunction with Pathfinder Umbilical, using Pathfinder Grommet Adapter, it can even accommodate multiple .8”-1” (20mm / 25mm) data conduits as well.
Accessories
Umbilical
PATHFINDER segment jaws are designed to allow cables to be ‘wiped in’, or removed easily, at any time. PATHFINDER has twin, asymmetric, segregated compartments, each capable of accepting power and data cables, as well as 0.63″ and 0.79″ flexible conduits.
Enclosed segments provide improved aesthetics over ‘open segment’ umbilicals.
PATHFINDER Top Mount can be: screwed to the underside of a desk top or meeting table; snapped into a .98”(25mm) hole in steel/plastic panels (such as QikTray Adapter); or, (with integrated wire gripper), used to tension a ceiling hung umbilical.
PATHFINDER Bottom Mount can be: screwed to any suitable surface; used with the Pathfinder Weighted Base; or, clipped into the Pathfinder Desk Flange for ceiling hung applications.
When used with our unique Floor Grommet, Pathfinder allows total cable protection unequaled by any other umbilical containment system.
Optional stainless steel cord guarantees protection of cables from undue tension.
PATHFINDER can be extended on-site, to suit different applications, with a simple ‘PUSH & CLICK’.
Where a rigid umbili-column is required, support rods can be used to limit, or even prevent flexing. This feature also allows users to be creative in the shape of Pathfinder routing ie. spiral.
Zipper
“The only way to totally protect cables is to enclose them from end-to-end. The Pathfinder system achieves that and in doing so, completely removes cables from view – perfect!”
QikTray Adapter
QikTray Adapter can also be used on compatible trays. Check with OE Electrics outside these sizes for alternative/bespoke brackets.
