Softwiring systems are flexible, but they do have some limitations depending on the application and setup.

When used with proper cable management such as baskets, trays or umbilicals, softwiring is highly adaptable for office fitouts and workstation power. Limitations may arise where suitable routing infrastructure is not in place, or where load requirements, layout constraints or compatibility between components are not considered during planning.

Softwiring is designed for modular, plug-and-play power distribution rather than permanent fixed wiring. For more complex installations or higher load requirements, system design and component selection should be carefully planned, and a licensed electrician may be required to ensure compliance with Australian standards.
