What does it mean when cubicle panels are described as ‘powered,’ and do I really need them?

Powered cubicle panels have electrical raceways built directly into the panel structure, routing AC power and data cabling through the panels themselves and delivering it to outlets and data ports at each workstation. This eliminates visible floor cords and power strips while giving every station reliable access to power and data without individual runs from the wall. They’re especially valuable in open-plan offices where running cable to each station individually would be impractical or unsightly. If you’re building a cubicle layout with 6 or more stations, powered panels are almost always worth the investment.
