Floor runner with electrical outlets

An electrical floor runner for routing electrical power or data transmission lines from one area to another, said electrical floor runner comprising:

• a first end portion configured to be electrically coupled to a power or data source, and defining a first internal channel;
• a second end portion, opposite said first end portion, and defining a second internal channel;
• an outlet housing positioned at said second end portion;
• at least one power or data outlet positioned at said outlet housing;
• a substantially rigid elongate middle portion between said first and second end portions, said middle portion defining an elongate internal channel;
• and
• electrical wiring routed through said elongate internal channel of said middle portion and through said first and second internal channels of said first and second end portions, wherein said electrical wiring is electrically connectable to the power or data source, and is electrically coupled to said power or data outlet at said outlet housing, so that said power or data outlet is electrically connectable to the power or data source;
• wherein said outlet housing is configured to be cut to a desired length to accommodate a desired number and type of power or data outlets, whereby said outlet housing is configurable to support the desired power or data outlets.

A method of providing power or data to a remote location along a walkway, said method comprising:

• routing electrical wiring through an elongate internal channel of an electrical floor runner having a first end portion, a second end portion, and a substantially rigid middle portion between the first and second end portions;
• cutting a housing a desired length to accommodate a desired number and type of power or data outlets;
• coupling the housing to the second end portion;
• positioning at least one power or data outlet at the housing;
• electrically connecting the electrical wiring to a power or data source;
• and
• electrically connecting the electrical wiring to the at least one power or data outlet at the housing to thereby electrically connect the at least one power or data outlet to the power or data source.
