Action Office--a panel system
In the Action Office panel system, panels define the work space, provide a structural foundation for hang-on components, house electrical and data wires, and influence the aesthetic character of the environment. Panels are shipped fully assembled. Other components are preassembled, including work surface attachment hardware and raceways.
Simple, Practical Performance
Fast, simple installation. No panel system is easier or quicker to install and reconfigure.
Concise, versatile vocabulary. Simplifies ordering, speeds installation, and streamlines inventory control.
Panel choices. A variety of sizes, shapes, and surface treatments; stacking panels let privacy levels be controlled and varied.
Never obsolete. Components manufactured today are compatible with the original generation.
Quality and Strength
Sturdy connections. Rigid, full-length connectors automatically align panels; steel construction ensures connectors do not weaken with repeated reconfiguration.
Hard working panels. Stress-skin construction lets panels support loads beyond the industry measurement for "heavy use."
Technology Support
Lay-in cabling. Avoids extra work and possible damage due to cable threading.
Plenty of cable capacity. Up 60 category 5, 4-pair UTP cables in the powered base; without power, 90 category 5, 4-pair UTP cables.
High-powered. 4-circuit, 8-wire system with 1 dedicated circuit; combinations include 3 general circuits and 1 dedicated circuit, 2 general and 2 isolated, or 1 general and 3 isolated.
Work surface access. A vertical cable management panel provides power and data access at work surface level.

Warranty Information
While Robert Propst was developing the original Action Office system in the 1960s, he realized he could never pin down exactly what the office should look like.
Even then, the way that offices worked was changing. So instead, Propst developed a system of components that could be combined and recombined to become whatever an office needs over time, that could adapt to aesthetic changes, now and in the future.
In 1968, Herman Miller introduced the fruit of Propst's 10-year effort to rethink the office: the first panel-based office furniture system in the world. More than 30 years later, a $5 billion installed base and a continuing demand for the Action Office system have proven his original ideas sound.
Action Office Series 2 reestablishes the success of the original system by expressing the basic Action Office concept with new details and capabilities. The panels carry an increased energy and cable load for heavy technological demands. Altered details on work surfaces and storage components reflect changing visual tastes. A number of new components offer more options to suit each individual's work process.
Meanwhile, Action Office Series 2 remains true to the fundamental principles of the system: space-saving benefits, simple ordering and inventory, design options, and interchangeable components. Most importantly, it preserves the owner's investment by continually adapting to the shifting conditions of the workplace.
Herman Miller supports Action Office furniture with a 12-year warranty, a trade-in program, and a continuing commitment to research and improvement.
