ABSTRACT:
A utility receptacle assembly for use in combination with a worksurface includes a base mountable to the worksurface and a utility receptacle pivotably and removably mounted to the base. The base includes a passage within which the utility receptacle member is received, and the base further includes at least one recess located adjacent the passage. A cover member is secured to the utility receptacle member, and functions to enclose the passage and the recess when the utility receptacle member is in a closed, inoperative position and to provide access to the recess when the utility receptacle member is moved to an open, operative position. The utility receptacle member and the base include releasable engagement structure for maintaining the utility receptacle member in its open, operative position. The releasable retainer structure is manually engageable by a user for returning the utility receptacle member to its closed, inoperative position. A cable extends into an internal cavity defined by the utility receptacle member, and a strain relief assembly prevents movement of the cable relative to the utility receptacle member. The recess includes a bottom section for mounting a communication jack having a first mounting configuration, and the bottom section is removable and replaceable with a different bottom section for mounting a communication jack having a different mounting configuration.
