In one embodiment, the raceway further comprises an alignment feature that aligns the back shell with the outlet assembly. For example, the alignment feature can comprises a tab on the outlet assembly and a recess on the back shell. The raceway can also include a fastener securing the back shell to the outlet assembly, wherein the fastener includes a head positioned in a recessed portion of the back shell.
