Abstract
A modular electrical assembly for use in a prefabricated wall panel of an office partition system includes a housing disposed within the hollow interior of the prefabricated wall panel. At least one electrical receptacle is operatively disposed within the housing. A connector electrically connects to an electrical distribution box disposed within the prefabricated wall panel to thereby electrically connect the connector to a source of electrical current. A switch electrically interconnects the electrical receptacle and the connector the switch selectively controlling the flow of electrical current between the electrical receptacle and the connector. The switch is disposed within a cut-out in the prefabricated wall panel, thereby exposing the switch from within the hollow interior of the wall panel to an exterior thereof.
