1. An electrical extension system, comprising:
- a signal cable extending to a signal outlet;
at least one device input port, the at least one device input port being in electrical communication with the signal cable;
an electrical strip, the electrical strip supporting the at least one device input port;
a telescoping extension, the telescoping extension having at least a lower section and an upper section and being manually extendable and contracted, the electrical strip being mounted on a first end of the upper section, and the signal cable extending through the telescoping extension to the signal outlet;
a power cable, the power cable being in electrical communication with the electrical strip;
a mechanism for maintaining the degree of extension and retraction of the movable extension section via at least one of a mechanical, tension, and frictional force; and
a mechanism for disengaging the at least one of mechanical, tension, and frictional force to permit a selective adjustment of the degree of extension and retraction.

Abstract
Pursuant to some embodiments, an electrical extension system including a telescoping extension having at least a lower section and an upper section and being manually extendable and contracted; a base to receive and support the telescoping extension, at least at two different locations on the base; a power strip mountable on a first end of the upper section, the power strip being mountable to the first end of the upper section at least at one terminal end of the power strip and a non-terminal end of the power strip; and a power cable, the power cable being in electrical communication with the power strip and extending into the telescoping extension.

7. An electrical extension system, comprising:
-
a telescoping extension, the telescoping extension having at least a lower section and an upper section and being manually extendable and contracted; a base to receive and support the telescoping extension, at least a portion of the base to receive the telescoping extension being repositionable in relation to a remaining portion of the base; a power strip mounted on a first end of the upper section, the power strip being repositionable relative to the upper section of the telescoping extension; a power cable, the power cable being in electrical communication with the power strip and extending through the telescoping extension and the base; a mechanism for maintaining the degree of extension and retraction of the movable extension section via at least one of a mechanical, tension, and frictional force; and a mechanism for disengaging the at least one of mechanical, tension, and frictional force to permit a selective adjustment of the degree of extension and retraction. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
