ABSTRACT:
A system, method, and components for removably securing communication cables to the upper portion of work station divider panels is shown. Key to the installation is the telecommunication removable raceway which contains an upper inverted U-shaped cover, and a mating H-shaped panel grip channel. The H-shaped lower channel has a pair of lower legs depending from a central web, and upper legs extending upwardly from the web to matingly engage the inverted U-shaped member. The lower legs are proportioned to flexibly and clampingly engage the upper portion of the work station divider. A top feed tube is provided to lead the cabling downwardly from inside the drop ceiling or other ceiling portion, and coact with a top feed cap which is provided at preselected stations along the main raceway to interrupt the inverted U-shaped cover. Additionally, corner members, end cap members, wire trough managers, and station drop feeds are provided to the end so that the cable may be routed in accordance with the location of the work station, and more particularly the needs of each particular work station for coupling to the main communication source.
