Workstation Accessories

A well-equipped office workstation should include accessories that improve ergonomics, organisation and connectivity. Common essentials include monitor arms or monitor stands, cable trays, cable management spines, desktop power and USB modules, keyboard and mouse accessories, document holders and, where required, footrests or privacy screens. The best combination depends on the employee, equipment being used and whether the workstation is fixed, shared or height adjustable.

The most effective approach is to use an under-desk cable tray or basket to hold power boards and excess cables, combined with cable clips, ties or a cable spine to route cords neatly toward the floor. Keeping cables off the ground creates a cleaner workstation, reduces tangles and makes the area easier to clean. For sit-stand desks, cables should also have enough controlled slack to move safely through the desk’s full height range.

Yes. Desktop power modules can provide convenient access to 240V power outlets, USB-A, USB-C and, depending on the model, data or charging connections directly from the workstation. They can be mounted above the desk, recessed into the desktop or positioned underneath it, helping reduce loose cables while making it easier for employees to connect laptops, monitors, phones and other devices.

Useful ergonomic accessories include adjustable monitor arms, laptop stands, external keyboards and mice, footrests and document holders. A monitor arm can help position the screen at a comfortable height and viewing distance, while an external keyboard and mouse allow the arms and wrists to remain in a more neutral position. Workstation accessories should be adjusted to suit the individual rather than relying on one fixed setup for every employee.

Yes, many desk-mounted privacy screens and workstation screens can be retrofitted to existing desks. Depending on the screen and workstation design, they may attach using clamps, brackets or other mounting hardware without requiring the entire workstation to be replaced. Before ordering, check the desktop thickness, desk dimensions, frame position and required screen size to ensure the mounting system is compatible.
