What is the maximum initial fill ratio when derated due to corners in modular furniture?

• A. 20 percent
• B. 30 percent
• C. 50 percent
• D. 40 percent

Answer: (D)

Fill ratio is how much of the available cable management space is used by cables. When derating due to corners, the space effectively available for neat, safe routing shrinks because bends around corners need extra room for proper bend radii and to keep airflow and accessibility for maintenance. That’s why the initial fill is limited to forty percent in this scenario. Pushing higher, like fifty percent, would crowd the corners and potentially cause heat and reconfiguration issues, while going much lower would unnecessarily constrain capacity.
