Abstract
An expandable powerway for use in a modular wall panel, which includes a primary distribution assembly and an add-on distribution assembly. The primary distribution assembly includes at least one modular connector and a plurality of electrical circuits connected to the at least one modular connector. The an add-on distribution assembly includes at least one supplemental modular connector and a plurality of supplemental electrical circuits connected to the at least one supplemental modular connector. The primary distribution assembly is mechanically coupled but not electrically coupled to the add-on distribution assembly.
