The specification discloses an arrangement for hard wiring movable room divider panels, comprising enclosed raceways adapted to mount electrical appliances therein, and being connected with and extending generally between the legs of the panels. A panel-to-panel wiring connector extends between and is attached to the ends of adjacent raceways, and includes a protective outer shell with a longitudinally extending interior cavity therethrough in which electrical wires are received. The wiring connector has a split body for longitudinally opening the outer shell, laying the wires in the interior cavity, and closing the outer shell about the wires, and includes opposed open ends which communicate with the adjacent raceways, whereby the raceways and channels form an uninterrupted shield for the wires, so as to economically hard wire the panels by hand without requiring a conventional conduit type of installation.

In a panel system for partitioning a room, including at least two movable room divider panels, the improvement comprising: a pair of wiring raceways connected with said room divider panels, and having ends thereof disposed in an adjacent, end-to-end relationship when said panels are assembled; and a panel-to-panel wiring connector extending between adjacent ends of said raceways, and comprising an elongate body with a protective outer shell and a longitudinally extending interior cavity therethrough shaped for receiving electrical wires therein; said protective outer shell being made of a substantially inelastic material; said connector body having a split construction which permits opening the protective outer shell, laying the wires into the interior cavity of said connector body, and closing the outer shell about the wires, and including opposed open ends received in and communicating with said wiring raceways, thereby forming a secure enclosure for shielding the wires for hard wiring said panel system; said connector being deformable for manually bending the same into an angular relationship commensurate with the angular relationship between adjacent room divider panels.
