Abstract
A modesty panel includes a back cover adjacent the underside of the worksurface, a power strip or power bar having at least one electrical outlet, a cord system electrically connected to the power bar and an electrical power supply, the cord system including at least one cable. A cable management track is positioned adjacent the back cover. The track has a track sidewall that defines a cable entrance portion including a cable entrance opening, a cable storage portion extending from the cable entrance portion and including a cable exit opening, and a cable guide. The cord system extends through the entrance opening and the exit opening in the track, such that a length of the cord system is positioned within the cable management track, and wherein as the height adjustable table is moved to a lower position, the length of cord system within the track increases, with a portion of the cord system engaging the cable guide to route the cord system into the cable storage portion of the cable management track.
