Abstract
A power distribution block assembly has a plurality of electrical receptacles and a multi-port electrical power distribution block with at least three like longitudinally aligned connector receiving ports near one block end and at least three like longitudinally aligned additional connector receiving ports near a block end opposite the one block end. An intermediate one of one the ports is adapted to receive a power supply connector and a pair of the ports spanning the intermediate port are adapted to receiving corresponding electrical receptacles to thereby position the power supply connector intermediate and sandwiched between the receptacles. An intermediate one of the additional ports is also adapted to receive a jumper cable connector. A pair of the additional ports spanning the intermediate additional port, are each adapted to receive a corresponding additional electrical receptacle so that the jumper cable connector is located intermediate and sandwiched between the additional receptacles. Each electrical receptacle comprises an elongated electrical duplex receptacle having an electrical connector near one end thereof for mating with an outer one of the connector receiving ports so that there may be two or more duplex receptacles extending in a common direction of elongation from the power distribution block in a cantilevered manner, or there may be two duplex receptacles elongatedly extending in opposite directions from the power distribution block in a cantilevered manner.
