ABSTRACT:
A foldable and stackable operations table is provided with channels underneath the table top, the channels defined by longitudinally extending rails and a side member integral with the top. Elongated rectangular boxes containing electronic components and associated wiring are sized to fit within the channels. Connectivity of components inside the boxes with external devices is enabled by receptacles provided in a lower side of the box. The table has three equal sized channels for receiving boxes, which may be media boxes or a combination of one or two media boxes with a cable storage box. All of the boxes are also equal in size so that they be readily replaced for one another. Legs of the table are independently adjustable in height. Multiple tables may be connected together for larger scale operation.
