ABSTRACT:
A modular faceplate system having four levels of modularity includes a standard faceplate, a plurality of secondary support members, and a plurality of modules. The faceplate may be secured to a variety of support structures such as an outlet box, a modular box and a wall box. The faceplate has an elongated opening formed therein for the secondary support members. The secondary support members support the various different modules in various configurations. The modules can support a variety of electrical devices including plugs and electrical connectors. The faceplate, secondary support members and modules all include snap-type fastening means such that a desired faceplate configuration can be assembled from the component parts without the use of hardware.
