Abstract
An access flooring module, which makes available the power and signal cable to a user, is configured to be easily adaptable and user friendly. The module has a movable dividing wall provided therein, the dividing wall being positioned between the power and the signal transmissions to insure the reliability thereof. A pivot arm is provided which allows the module to move between a first position and a second position. A deformable member is positioned on the module, such that as the module is moved between the first and the second positions, the deformable member controls the movement of the module. A latch member is provided on the module, the latch member being moveable between an open position and a closed position. The latch member is provided to secure the access flooring module in the first position, and to provide an opening through which electrical cords can pass.
