Thermal Density Calculator
Power adapters are typically 85-92% efficient. The remaining energy is dissipated as heat. Calculate the thermal load trapped under your desk.

W
Equivalent thermal energy of a small incandescent lightbulb constantly burning.
In a plastic cable tray, this heat reflects and compounds. On the SmartCableBoard, grid spacing and the aluminum spine passively dissipate this load.
