Abstract
An adjustable raceway channel connector is adapted for interconnecting first and second cable raceway channels arranged end to end in a cable raceway system. Each of the raceway channels has a connecting end and an opposing end. The channel connector includes a bottom wall and opposing side walls. The bottom and side walls of the connector are formed to overlap respective connecting ends of the raceway channels. A longitudinally extending connector slot is formed in at least one of the side walls of the connector, and is adapted for being aligned with a channel hole formed in at least one of the raceway channels. The aligned connector slot and channel hole are adapted for receiving a fastener to join the connector and raceway channel together. The connector slot allows telescoping axial movement of the connector relative to the joined raceway channel to adjustably bridge the space between the connecting end of the first raceway channel and the connecting end of the second raceway channel.
