Thanks to all who responded. I'm told that all cabling will be run in conduit anyway, so I like the idea of bending the conduit to run down to the desired height terminating with an box. We will also have a cable tray snaking around the floors so we can hang them off of that or on short conduits running from the tray where appropriate.
