ABSTRACT:
An electrified space dividing panel system having a plurality of panels, with each panel having a power module which includes a terminal block having terminals for receiving up to and including four plug-in receptacles. The power module includes two flexible cables, one either fixed to or releasably engaged with, each longitudinal end thereof, with the flexible cables each having a length such that they reach to opposite ends of the associated panel. Each flexible cable has a T-shaped connector at its free end, with the T-shaped connector having first and second sets of hermaphroditic contacts arranged at right angles to one another, and first and second hermaphroditic housings disposed to respectively surround the first and second sets of hermaphroditic contacts. The T-shaped connectors of adjacent panels plug directly together at the intersection of two, three or four panels, eliminating the need for jumpers.
