Abstract
A wire or line manager is adapted to be attached to the edge of a work surface and to extend between the work surface and a wall to provide neat and aesthetic management of numerous electrical lines, data and signal cables and plugs associated with various electrical and communications apparatuses. The manager comprises a flange support connectable to the work surface edge and has a rigid lower flange and a flexible upper flange extending outwardly therefrom and toward the wall. Electrical lines, data and signal cables and plugs may then be easily and neatly passed between the flexible upper flange and the wall and run laterally along the lower flange between the work surface and wall. A plurality of openings are provided in the lower flange so that any one or more lines may be selectively received through an opening or openings to be run generally vertically downwardly to selected areas.
