ABSTRACT:
A cable management device traps and provides support for at least one electrical cable end connector which is located below an existing cable management hole through a work surface. In one embodiment, the cable management device includes a plate defining at least one aperture adapted to releasably receive an electrical connector. The plate is mountable directly to an underside of the work surface across a portion of the existing cable management hole such that the electrical connector is accessible from the top side of the work surface. Another embodiment of the cable management device includes a cylindrical sleeve adapted for mounting in a standard size cable management hole in a work surface, the sleeve including a lip protruding outwardly at a first end, the lip retaining the sleeve in the cable management hole, and at least one aperture defined by the sleeve, the aperture adapted to releasably receive an electrical connector.
