The raceway is configured to be positioned lengthwise along at least a portion of a length of the edge surface. The raceway provides a slot along and through which the cable can, with respect to the support surface, be moved laterally and extended and retracted. The holder is configured to be positioned on the support surface and to retain the plug in a stationary position at a first location adjacent to the support surface. The plug is removable from the holder to be repositioned to a desired one of a plurality of second locations adjacent to the support surface.
