Abstract
An in-floor, flush poke-through wiring fitting may be installed in the floor of a structure to enable the activation of power, communication, and/or data services at the fitting location. The poke-through fitting includes a height adjustable mounting bracket that provides for internal mounting of a variety of different low voltage data jacks (e.g. fiber optic, RJ-45 Category 5, coaxial, etc.). The mounting bracket includes a first portion that is mountable in the finish ring over an internal chamber of the poke-through fitting. The data jack is mounted in a second portion of the mounting bracket that is mountable in the bracket first portion in a height adjustable manner, whereby the height of the bracket second portion may be adjusted relative to top assembly to accommodate service connectors of varying heights.
