Abstract
An office space dividing partition having an electrical raceway. The raceway includes an extruded plastic spine having a vertical web; a top portion which includes an extruded mounting slot; a bottom portion which includes first and second extruded grooves and a noise seal; and, an intermediate portion which defines four passageways for communication and power wiring. First and second extruded plastic side panels are telescoped into engagement with the first and second extruded grooves of the spine. An extruded panel-to-raceway connector connects the spine to the bottom edge of an office space dividing panel. Raceway stabilizers extend outwardly from the spine to engage support posts which support the panels. Raceway shrouds, which conceal the posts adjacent to the ends of the raceways, are positionally keyed to the spine for accurate mating with the side panels of the raceway.
