  • Such an assembly may be manufactured efficiently and with reduced costs as two identical multilayer surface coatings 100a, 100b are used.
  • the surface coating may comprise three or more multilayer surface coatings 100, to provide even further conducting layers, for example if two different voltages should be provided for the power supply for devices.
  • FIG. 4 shows a connection interface or plug subassembly 140 inserted into the surface coating.

Further, the working desk and workstations may easily and quickly be located as complicated un-cabling and re-cabling in the floor is not required.
