making cable/data "holes" in furniture and how to cover them
No clue where to look.
Help. We just purchased a conference room table but it doesn’t have any data-port “holes” to allow the cables to run neatly through the center of the table.
Normally I would just use a round drill bit to make the hole, but this is a conference room and an unfinished “hole” wouldn’t look too professional.
Any clue where to purchase the covers and the drill bit that goes with them?
Thanks in advance.

Most "big box" hardware stores have these, as well as the hole saw to make the hole. If you're in California, Orchard Supply Hardware is my favorite source for both items.
You could always saw the table in half, pass the cables in between them and then selotape the table back together again :)
OTH - Once you put it back together, all you're left with is the hole. (whole) (SIC) I know!
If all your left with is a Whole does that mean that is is wireless?
Good point. I wonder if it meets the IEEE 802.11 specs. And if it ends up wireless, why do we need the hole saw?

Thank you so much.
I need to be able to make the cable grommet since the digital telephone system we have doesn't have a wireless speakerphone. Also, polycom doesn't make a wireless device. Although wireless is good, it isn't the final solution for everything.
Thank you so much for your help. I spaced on the word "grommet".

You're welcome. Those last few comments were just a little humorus banter - not really pertinent to the matter at hand. Yes, the word "grommet" is not something one would use in everyday speech. You should be able to find and purchse the one that you need.
