A power receptacle and nested line conditioner arrangement is provided for office partition systems and the like of the type having electrical power incorporated therein. The arrangement includes a power receptacle having a modular construction with a quick-disconnect that enables the same to be mounted at selected locations throughout the office partition system, and provide either conditioned or unconditioned power. The arrangement also includes a line conditioner having a quick-disconnect to couple the same with an associated receptacle. The line conditioner has a housing in which selected circuitry is encased, with a substantially C-shaped side elevational configuration comprising a web and opposite flanges defining a channel therebetween. The channel is shaped to closely receive an associated portion of the receptacle therein, such that the line conditioner nests around the rear face, and upper and lower walls of the receptacle, wholly within the ends of the receptacle, for increased space efficiency.
