Abstract
An electrical receptacle unit is formed from a housing having a top section, a bottom section, and a recessed portion separating the top and bottom sections. The top section includes receptacles for removably receiving electrical plugs and other communication lines and cords. The housing is connectable to sources of electrical line power and existing communication lines for activating the receptacles in the upper section of the housing. The recessed portion of the housing receives the edge of a supporting structure, as for example, a table top, for removably mounting the housing to the supporting structure.
