Abstract
An improved rack unit assembly having at least one receptacle, such as a power receptacle, includes a cover for removable attachment to the assembly, where the panel includes an opening in the panel for permitting a connector on a cord, such as a power cord, to extend through the panel to releasably engage the at least one receptacle in the assembly, and a channel originating at the opening for receiving and guiding the cord. Optionally, the channel in the cover may include tabs along the channel for keeping the cord in the channel and the opening of the cover for the rack unit may include a means of strain relief for preventing the connector on the cord from inadvertently disengaging from the receptacle.
