Abstract: An electrical connection tower as a push-in part with a plurality of receptacle outlet inserts for system voltage connections and for information connections, an annular surround which is recessed in a table top engaging with guides in rails of the connection tower and a cover arranged on the top of the connection tower closing off the top side of the annular surround. The technical problem is that of providing a connection tower with a flush termination of the equipment plate in the unused state and ease of handling. The cover can be swung up counter to a prestressing force about a hinge pin aligned parallel to the plane of an insert plate of a receptacle outlet insert on the insertion side of the insert plates.
