ABSTRACT:
A work station outlet is provided that is configured to be mounted to a wall or like structure. The work station outlet facilitates cable management functions, enhances space utilization at and around the work station outlet relative to the wall during cable installation and any subsequent cable additions or alterations, and allows for effective, convenient and efficient cable access as desired. The work station outlet includes a first plate suitable for being mounted or connected to the wall. The first plate has at least one connector access opening and one or more guide structures. The guide structures are offset from the access opening and suitable to accommodate a second plate having at least one cable accommodating spool operatively associated therewith. The second plate operatively cooperates with the guide structures so as to slide, then pivot, relative to the first plate so as to advantageously provide a drawer feature allowing ready access to the spool and thereby enable efficient cable installation from the front side of the wall.
