Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a wiring system used to provide electricity to individual work spaces created by a plurality of partitions subdividing an office area. An electrified partition system having a plurality of panels interconnected with each other to form a plurality of work spaces. A plurality of receptacles are mounted in raceways located in the panels with each receptacle including a housing and a plurality of conductors extending from one end of the housing to the other end of the housing. The conductors terminate in respective terminals and define individual circuits. At least one electrical socket is disposed in a face of each of the receptacle housings and include a plurality of connectors positioned behind respective apertures in the housing face to receive a standard multi-pronged electrical plug. The connectors are connected to respective conductors which are fewer in number than the plurality of conductors so that some of the conductors pass through the housing electrically isolated from the connectors. Multi-circuit cables connect the terminals of the receptacles to form an electrical network.
