Abstract

A compact, simple-to-use and readily adjustable connector module which can be easily affixed to a work platform such as a desk or worktable for use in interconnecting various types of electrically operated machines and communication devices, which are positioned on the work platform, with power and communication lines. The connector module includes a housing having a work platform receiving channel which closely receives a portion of the edge of the work platform so that the module can be conveniently interconnected with the work platform by means of a simple, easy-to-use clamping mechanism.
