Abstract

A desk with a channel which extends directly below the table top on the backside thereof and which is removably guided in the desk. The channel has a U or L-shaped profile for receiving cables and wires therein. The outer leg of the profile is in alignment, in the retracted condition thereof, with the desk wall and has openings for facilitating an exiting of the cables and wires therethrough. At least on one side of the channel which extends parallel to the table top there is secured a further channel extending perpendicularly to the channel and which extends downwardly. This further channel together with the first channel is movable and can be moved into a recess in a base of the desk and has a connection to the horizontally extending channel.
