Abstract
An expandable power and data center (300) is mounted to a work surface (332), and includes a front face surface (302). Extending outwardly from an aperture (338) within the face (302) are power receptacles (310) and data ports (312). A housing (322) extends rearwardly of the front face (302) and includes a bracket mount (340). The bracket mount (340) is formed by the rear portion (330) of the housing (322) having a central portion (348) intermediate a set of L-slots (342). The L-slots (342) releasably engage various configurations of mounting brackets (350, 390) for use in mounting the power and data center (300) to various types of surfaces.
