Add to Your Existing Herman Miller AO2
Engineered for 1:1 compatibility across frames, hanging components, and worksurfaces.
If you already have Herman Miller Action Office 2 panels installed, you don’t need to replace them to expand your space. Our system is engineered to interoperate directly with existing AO2 components — in most cases, with zero adapters. Tell us what you’re working with below, and we’ll help you figure out exactly what you need to add on.
What’s compatible
Frames & Panel Connections
Late 1970s–Present. Draw-rods, wedge blocks, top caps, and side connectors lock into place seamlessly.
Hanging Components
Late 1970s–Present. Shelves, pedestals, and task lights drop directly into genuine HM slots.
Worksurfaces & Cantilever Brackets
Late 1970s–Present. Cantilever arms slide directly into original panel slots.
Electrical / Powerways
Late 1990s–Present for direct plug-in. Panels from the 1980s or early 1990s may require an adapter or harness due to a wiring standard change.
Frequently asked
Can I add new panels to an existing Herman Miller AO2 system?
Yes. Frames, hanging components, and worksurfaces are 100% compatible from the late 1970s to present, with zero adapters required.
Will my existing panels’ electrical wiring work with new panels?
If your existing power spine is from the late 1990s or newer, yes — direct plug-in compatibility. If your panels date to the 1980s or early 1990s, you may need an adapter or harness. Tell us your setup below and we’ll confirm.
Do I need to replace my existing Herman Miller AO2 panels?
No. Our system is designed to expand your existing setup, not replace it.
What generation of Herman Miller AO2 does this work with?
Anything from the late 1970s to present for frames, hanging components, and worksurfaces. Electrical compatibility depends on the age of your power spine — see above.
Is this an official Herman Miller product?
No. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by Herman Miller. Our panels are independently engineered for compatibility with the AO2 system.
