Frame Compatibility Matrix
The SmartCableBoard mounts to the underside of your desk using six heavy-duty standoffs. You need a flat, unobstructed area of at least 36" x 12", and a tabletop thick enough to accept 0.75" wood screws.
1. Tabletop Thickness
The included mounting screws require a minimum depth to safely hold the 45lb loaded weight without piercing the top surface.
≥ 1.0"
Required
2. Crossbar Clearance
Standing desks have a central metal crossbar. The board must fit between this crossbar and the back edge of the desk.
≥ 12.5"
Depth Required
3. Material Type
The standoffs must bite securely into the material. Hollow-core tops (like IKEA Linmon) will fail under load.
Solid Wood, MDF, Bamboo
Tested Desk Frames

|---|---|---|---|
| Uplift V2 (Commercial & Standard) | 30" | Native Fit | Fits perfectly behind the C-frame crossbar. |
| Fully Jarvis (Bamboo/Laminate) | 30" | Native Fit | Plenty of clearance. |
| Secretlab Magnus Pro | N/A (Metal) | Incompatible | Metal chassis cannot accept wood screws. Proprietary tray built-in. |
| IKEA Idasen | 31.5" | Native Fit | Must bypass the included cloth net. |
| IKEA Karlby (Countertop Hack) | 25.5" | Tight Fit | Very solid particleboard core, but shallow depth leaves board close to knees. |
