A partition wiring system includes panels supported by either square or round posts and having electrical raceways beneath the panels with each containing a harness assembly provided with male and female connectors at opposite ends. Series of harness assemblies are joined to one another by mating male and female contacts to deliver current to electrical outlets contained in any one or all of the posts or alternatively, any one or all of the electrical raceways. Variably positionable contact elements on the male and female connectors allow the union of adjacent connectors whether the respective panels are disposed in a straight line or at right angles to one another in a system employing square posts and in a system utilizing round posts, additionally, all intermediate angles. The open bottom of each electrical raceway may be enclosed by either a slidable cover or a disparate telephone wiring raceway.
