Rail system for workspace with modular components

A rail system for a workspace, the rail system comprising:

• at least one mounting mechanism;
• and
• an elongated rail,
• each mounting mechanism being configured for attachment to the elongated rail and configured for attachment to a table or desk, so that the at least one mounting mechanism supports the elongated rail relative to a surface of said table or desk,
• the elongated rail being configured to extend horizontally relative to and above the surface of the table or desk at a height or distance thereabove when mounted thereto via said at least one mounting mechanism,
• each mounting mechanism comprising (a) at least one mounting portion configured for attachment to the elongated rail for securing the elongated rail at said height or distance and relative to an edge and/or surface of the table or desk, (b) a mount cover connected to the at least one mounting portion on an outer surface thereof to cover at least a portion of said outer surface, and (c) a feed channel, for routing cable or cord, formed between the at least one mounting portion and an inside surface of the mount cover,
• the elongated rail extending between a first end and a second end and having at least a front surface, a bottom edge, and a back surface, the back surface comprising a modular slat profile comprising a number of horizontally extending mounting slots formed therein, each of the number of horizontally extending mounting slots having attachment locations for placement and securement of accessories relative to the elongated rail.
