Patent ID: 7229050

Claim:
A raceway system for use with a vertical support unit, the system comprising: at least one floor having a first total longitudinal length; a first rail extending from the at least one floor, wherein the first rail has mounting portion distant the at least one floor and configured to be mounted to the vertical support unit; a second rail extending from the at least one floor; at least one substantially imperforate divider extending from the at least one floor and between the first rail and the second rail, wherein the divider has a second longitudinal length no less than the first longitudinal length, wherein the at least one floor, the first rail and the at least one divider form a first channel having a first continuous access gap opposite the at least one floor, having a third longitudinal length no less than the first longitudinal length, and configured to enable cabling to be inserted into the first channel in a direction nonparallel to the floor and wherein the at least one floor, the second rail and the at least one divider form a second channel having a second continuous access gap opposite the at least one floor. having a fourth longitudinal length no less than the first longitudinal length, and configured to enable cabling to be inserted into the second channel in a direction nonparallel to the floor; and a first flange extending substantially parallel to the at least one floor and spaced from the at least one floor in a direction substantially perpendicular to the at least one floor, coupled to the first rail and extending outwardly from the first rail away from the at least one divider.
