Abstract: A system for workstation power trough including: a planar body; an access through the planar body, the access comprising a slot, an opening, and a plurality of first notches; a panel adapted to fit within the opening; and a power trough connected to a bottom surface of the planar body, the power trough configured to enclose a power unit; whereby a cable may be routed through the access and coupled to the power unit. A method of using a workstation power trough comprising the steps of rotating the panel to an open position, routing a first end of the cable through the access into the power trough, coupling the first end of the cable to the power unit, rotating the panel to a closed position, sliding the cable along the slot, and securing the cable into one of the plurality of first notches.
