A poke-through fitting, adapted to feed a cable or cables therethrough to a piece of furniture, including a raceway extending through the fitting, and a top portion which includes a medial portion including a plurality of sides each adapted to normally close the fitting, and to enable an opening to be formed therein to enable egress of the cable or cables, adapted to enable the volume of the cable or cables passing therethrough to be substantially greater than the volume of a cable or cables adapted to pass through a standard furniture feed poke-through fitting. The fitting is further adapted to be fire rated, including sealing elements, insulating elements, and radiating elements adapted to enable the fire-rating of the fire-rated floor to be substantially the same with or without the hole and fitting therein.

Fire-rated furniture feed poke-through fitting

The service fitting may be installed in the floor of a structure. It enables activation of power, communication, and/or data services at the fitting location. It includes wedge locks, which releasably engage the floor opening. The wedge locks are operable from above the floor, to engage with and release from the floor opening. Upon engaging the floor opening, they resist unauthorized upward pulling of the fitting. Upon release from engagement, they enable authorized removal of the fitting, without requiring potentially damaging efforts for access thereto through a limited access ceiling of the floor below. The fitting further includes elements for retarding transmission of fire through the floor opening and the fitting. They maintain the fire rating of the floor at substantially the same level with or without the floor opening and fitting in the floor.
