A compartmentalized electrical outlet box defines side-by-side forwardly open compartments for receiving power leads, data lines and telecommunication cables from inside a wall structure. These leads will be connected to corresponding conductors in a raceway that has at least two separated wireways

A compartmentalized electrical outlet box defines side-by-side forwardly open compartments for receiving power leads, data lines and telecommunication cables from inside a wall structure. These leads will be connected to corresponding conductors in a raceway that has at least two separated wireways defined in a base channel. Access openings are provided in staggered relationship at the rear wall of the raceway channel so as to be aligned with the compartments in the outlet box.

[ It is claimed:] [1.]1. An assembly for accommodating separate power and data lines in a wall structure, and feeding each of the separate power and data lines into a raceway having separate wireways therefore, said assembly comprising:an outlet box mounted in the wall structure and having at least one divider wall whereby said box defines at least two compartments, one of said at least two compartments has a wall with a knockout opening for communicating with power lines, and another of said at least two compartments defined by said box and divider wall with another knockout opening for accommodating the data lines,a longitudinally extending raceway having an elongated base of sufficient width to cover said outlet box, said base defining at least two longtitudinally extending separated channels, said separated channel of said raceway base having a common rear wall adapted to abut the surface of said wall and staggered openings in said rear wall alignable with the compartments of the outlet box for accommodating the power and data lines, respectively, from said at least two compartments.
