Abstract
A wire management assembly for mounting on a wall or panel of a work station or office for supporting and concealing communication wires, power plug-in cords and extension cords of electrical equipment and devices. It consists of an extruded aluminum housing having a downwardly facing opening for receiving wires to be supported in the housing. Metal clips connect to the aluminum housing and in turn are connected to brackets which mount in slots formed in standards located at the ends of the panels. A cover is provided for mounting on the aluminum housing and to extend downwardly to the work surface to conceal wires and equipment located on the work surface below the aluminum housing. The cover has a hook that fits into a groove formed in the aluminum housing to hingedly lock the cover to the housing.
