A space-dividing wall panel system having a plurality of upright wall panels serially connected one with the other by an intermediate upright support post. The height of each wall panel is adjusted by modular panel extension assemblies which are mounted on base panels supported by lower support posts and include extension posts connected to the lower support posts so as to be arranged coaxial therewith. Spaced apart pairs of the extension posts are connectable to a cross rail at upper ends thereof which defines a downwardly extending generally U-shaped extension frame. A serially adjacent pair of extension frames shares a common extension post which is connected to both of the cross rails thereof, where the base panel and the extension panel assembly disposed thereon respectively define base and beltline raceways for workstation cabling. Additional extension posts can be inserted into the upper ends of extension posts already positioned so as to vertically extend the height of the wall panel. Removable covers are provided so as to overlie the outward faces of the base panel and the extension panels which panel covers are spaced outwardly from the outer faces of the base panel and extension frame so as to define passages therebetween. The passages permit horizontal cabling along the base raceway and the beltline raceway between adjacent wall panels while further permitting vertical routing of cabling between the base and beltline raceways within each panel.

[ The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows:] [1.] In a wall panel arrangement comprising a plurality of space-dividing wall panels and a connector assembly which joins adjacent ends of said wall panels together to define a corner connection wherein said wall panels are oriented transversely relative to each other, comprising the improvement wherein said connector assembly comprises a plurality of connector plates wherein each of said wall panels have a corresponding one of said connector plates mounted thereto, said connector plates being joined together to define said corner connection between said wall panels, each of said connector plates including a vertically elongate bead which extends vertically and projects sidewardly from said connector plate in a first direction, and a vertically elongate channel having a shape corresponding to said vertical bead, said vertically elongate channel having an open side which opens sidewardly in a second direction oriented transverse to said first direction, said bead of one of said connector plates being slidably received in said channel of an adjacent one of said connector plates to join an adjacent pair of said wall panels together in said corner connection, said channel preventing removal of said bead sidewardly through said open side thereof such that said adjacent wall panels are joined together solely by said channel and said bead joined therewith.
