ABSTRACT:
A modular raceway outlet station for use with a trunking duct which has a divider wall and a top access opening, includes an offset power box having a projection extending lateral from a top wall of the box having a top portion and an abutment portion which depends from the furthest extent of the top portion and is adapted to be substantially aligned with an edge of the top access opening, wherein the abutment portion does not project into the top access opening; and an opening formed in the abutment portion of the projection which communicates with an aperture formed in a side wall of the box adjacent the duct. The outlet station further includes, an extension which is adapted to extend over the top access opening having an abutment surface which aligns flush against the abutment portion of the projection; a routing notch formed in the abutment surface corresponding in longitudinal extent to the opening formed in the abutment portion of the projection; and a guide wall depending from the extension, interiorly adjacent the routing notch, having a longitudinal extent greater than the routing notch, and adapted to be substantially vertically aligned with the divider wall. Wherein, the power conductors may be routed out of and over the duct, and into the offset power box before installation of the extension and the power conductors remain completely isolated from the communication conductors after the extension is installed.
