Tables with a hole for cables in the tabletop

Cable opening

— standard cable grommet on the desktop, usually 60–80 mm in diameter with a cover and rubber gasket or brush, through which power and data cables are neatly routed to the PC, monitors, and docking station. This solution relieves the edge of the tabletop, reduces the risk of bends and snaring by feet, simplifies cleaning, and makes the setup look visually cleaner; compared to desks without holes, there are fewer loops and less load on ports. In gaming models, two grommets are often placed at the edges for multi-monitor configurations, while office models feature one central grommet leading to an under-desk tray. This practical feature is evident in scenarios like "two monitors + microphone + game controller charger": thick cables run down through the grommet, leaving only short tails above, and rearranging equipment takes minutes — exactly what ergonomic guides recommend.
