The customer is a professional electrical material and smart home solution provider based in France, offering innovative solutions for modern residential and commercial environments.

As part of their workspace solution portfolio, they were looking for a compact and flexible desk power solution that could be easily integrated into modern office furniture.

The solution needed to provide convenient power access while maintaining a clean workspace appearance.

The customer's requirement was simple but highly specific.

They needed a clamp-mounted power socket that could:

• Support French standard power outlets
• Include USB charging capability
• Be installed without drilling large holes into desks
• Maintain a clean and modern appearance
• Work with office desks equipped with privacy screens or desktop dividers

The biggest challenge was:

The power socket needed to be installed on the edge of the desk without interfering with existing desktop screens.

Traditional clamp sockets often create installation conflicts because of their large mounting structure and positioning.

Based on the customer's requirements, we developed a customized clamp edge socket solution that perfectly matched their workstation application.

The final configuration included:

One of the most important design requirements was ensuring that the clamp edge socket would not interfere with the desk screen/divider system.

Through optimized mechanical structure and clamp positioning, the socket could be installed securely at the edge of the desk while maintaining enough clearance for the existing screen.

This allowed the end users to enjoy:

• Easy power access
• Clean desktop organization
• Uninterrupted privacy screen installation
• Better workspace experience

The clamp edge socket was designed for quick installation without modifying the customer's existing furniture.

The simple clamp installation method makes it ideal for:
