Abstract
A freestanding power and/or communication pedestal for selective placement at locations near workstations. The pedestal includes two, spaced apart columns projecting upwardly from a base member toward a cross member and which thereby define an opening therebetween. Selected power and communication modules are seatable within the opening at one or more mounting sites defined along the axial length of the columns, which modules have receptacles for receiving connector plugs of workstation equipment. One column accommodates a communication cable therein, and the other column receives a power cable therein.
