.A **desk power grommet** (or **on-desk power grommet**) is a device that allows you to have easy access to electrical outlets, USB ports, or even data ports like Ethernet, directly on the surface of a desk or table. These are commonly used in office environments, conference rooms, or even home offices to help manage power cables and keep devices plugged in without the need to reach for wall outlets.

### Features of an On-Desk Power Grommet:
1. **Power Outlets**: Provides AC power outlets (often 2-3) for plugging in electronics like laptops, monitors, or chargers.
2. **USB Ports**: Many models also come with USB-A or USB-C ports for charging smartphones, tablets, or other USB-powered devices.
3. **Data Ports**: Some grommets include Ethernet ports, HDMI ports, or other data ports for easy connectivity.
4. **Cable Management**: Helps keep wires organized and reduces clutter on the desk. Many grommets have built-in cable management channels or covers.
5. **Recessed Design**: The grommet is designed to fit into a hole drilled into the desk surface, giving a clean, integrated look without exposed cords.
6. **Pop-up or Flip-top Covers**: Some designs feature a cover that pops up or flips open when you need access to the outlets, and then can be closed when not in use, making the setup look tidy and neat.

These devices are typically installed in the center or along the edges of a desk or table for easy access to power and charging, and they can be especially useful for people who use multiple devices at once or in professional settings where multiple people may need access to power.

### Why Use an On-Desk Power Grommet?
– **Convenience**: You don’t need to crawl under the desk to plug in devices.
– **Aesthetics**: A cleaner, more organized workspace.
– **Flexibility**: Useful in collaborative environments, as multiple users can plug in their devices.
– **Safety**: Reduces the need for visible cables, helping avoid tripping hazards.
