neutral sleeves

310, 330 are assembled to the cradle 100, their

attachment arms

316, 336 may extend laterally of the cradle 100. In the illustrated embodiment, connecting arm 316 of live insert 310 may be lower than connecting arm 336 of neutral insert 330, thereby causing live and

neutral inserts

310, 330 to be staggered in height, a configuration consistent with the different length channels associated with dividing

walls

120, 130 shown in fig. 2.

The configuration of the pole end 312 of the live and

neutral inserts

310, 332 of the neutral insert 330 on one side may be the same as the configuration of their respective pole ends 312, 334 on the opposite side, thereby providing the same orientation of the outlets on opposite sides (i.e., the same orientation of the plugs used therewith). Therefore, the bracket 100 of the present invention can adopt the integral live wire plug bush 310 and the integral zero wire plug bush 330 to provide the sockets with the same direction on two opposite sides. This arrangement uses few parts, is easy and efficient to assemble, and is highly reliable. Depending on the particular needs, the extreme formed sockets of the live and

neutral inserts

310, 330 on each side may be a 2-hole configuration, a 3-hole configuration (requiring additional mating of the ground insert), or a 5-hole (i.e., 2-hole + 3-hole) configuration.
