Abstract
A low raised access floor structure having widened spacing between the floor posts thereof and allowing more communication cables or bus bar wires to pass underneath. This unique structure solves the problems caused by unevenness of the construction ground and further provides the benefits of shortening the time required for installation, simplifying the construction work, and production is at a low cost. In addition, the arrangement of outlets can be changed in a quick and easy manner without adverse influence in the integrity of the outer appearance.
