An electrical assembly for use with an electrical distribution system used in a modular furniture system. The electrical assembly includes a flexible sleeving with a first sleeving end which has a first cross-section of a first geometrical shape, and a conduit with a first conduit end which has a second cross-section of a second geometrical shape, where the second geometrical shape is different than the first geometrical shape. A coupler is over-molded the first sleeving end and the first conduit end. The coupler includes a first coupler end and a second coupler end, the first coupler end has a first aperture complimentary in shape to the first cross-section, and the second coupler end includes a second aperture complimentary in shape to the second cross-section.
