Wiremold CAF3 Shallow Three Gang Raised Floor Box

Transform how people plug in and connect in high-traffic spaces with the Wiremold CAF3 Shallow Three Gang Raised Floor Box. This versatile in-floor solution is engineered to handle up to three gangs of devices in two separate compartments, delivering organized power, data, and audio/video connections exactly where you need them. Designed for compatibility with both raised-floor and wood-floor installations, the CAF3 combines a compact, shallow profile with robust construction to fit discreetly into your floor while maintaining easy access for maintenance and upgrades. With its dual-compartment layout, you can keep high-power outlets separate from low-voltage data and AV lines, reducing interference and improving safety and performance. Whether you’re upgrading a conference room, classroom, data center workspace, or commercial office, the CAF3 floor box brings a clean, professional finish and flexible configuration that scales with your evolving technology needs.

• Flexible 3-gang capacity in two separate compartments: The CAF3 accommodates up to three gangs of devices—power outlets, data/communication ports, and AV connectors—within a single, compact footprint. This setup makes it ideal for conference rooms, classrooms, offices, and shared workspaces where multiple devices must connect simultaneously. By pooling power and low-voltage lines in a two-compartment layout, you gain streamlined cable management and easier maintenance while preserving accessible access for users.
• Dual-compartment design for safety and performance: Separate spaces for power and low-voltage equipment help minimize electrical interference, reduce heat buildup, and simplify cable organization. This thoughtful separation supports cleaner layouts for outlets, Ethernet, HDMI, USB, and other connectors, ensuring reliable performance for critical devices without crowding or cross-talk.
• Raised-floor and wood-floor compatibility: The CAF3 is engineered to work in two common floor types, enabling installers to reuse or retrofit existing spaces with confidence. Its shallow depth and adaptable mounting approach allow installation in raised-floor systems used in data centers and telecom rooms, as well as in traditional wood-floor environments typical of meeting spaces and classrooms.
• Shallow, compact profile for tight spaces: With a low-profile footprint, the CAF3 minimizes cutout complexity and reduces floor intrusion while still delivering convenient access to power and connectivity. This makes it an excellent choice for projects where floor height must be preserved, existing subfloor structures are a constraint, or where a discreet, unobtrusive installation is essential.
• Durable construction and easy maintenance: Built to withstand heavy-use commercial settings, the CAF3 combines sturdy materials with a clean finish that resists wear and tear. The design simplifies routine cleaning and routine checks, helping facilities teams keep floor connections tidy and reliable over time. This floor box is a practical, long-lasting solution for modern workplaces that demand dependable, organized access to power, data, and media connections.

How to install Wiremold CAF3 Shallow Three Gang Raised Floor Box

• Plan the installation by selecting a location that provides convenient access for users and space for the planned device modules. Confirm the cutout size and ensure the subfloor can accommodate the floor box’s depth in both raised-floor and wood-floor configurations.
• Safety first: power to the area should be de-energized, and any work involving electrical connections must comply with local codes and standards. Prepare all tools and materials ahead of time to minimize disturbances in occupied spaces.
• Prepare the floor: cut the floor opening to match the CAF3 specifications and ensure a clean, level surface. If working with a raised-floor system, verify the floor box location aligns with access panels and cable routes; for wood floors, confirm compatibility with the subfloor structure and finishing materials.
• Mount and route cables: place the CAF3 into the opening and secure it per the manufacturer’s mounting guidelines. Route power and low-voltage cables through the appropriate compartments, taking care to separate high-power lines from data/AV lines as designed by the two-compartment layout. Use proper strain relief and cable management accessories as needed.
• Install modules and cover: insert the desired power outlets, data ports, or AV connectors into the three-gang footprint, then attach the cover plate to achieve a flush, professional appearance. Verify that all connections are secure and test each port for functionality. Clean away any dust or debris to maintain a pristine floor surface.
• Final checks: confirm the floor box sits evenly with the surrounding floor surface, verify device operation (power on/off, data connectivity, AV connections), and ensure cable management remains tidy under the lid. Document the installation for maintenance records and future upgrades.
