baseboard channels with 3 comparments
Explanation:
plint = baseboard
goot = channel

This seems to be a cable channel that is attached to the baseboards in rooms, in which there are separators for creating compartments. This is usually done to separate different types of cables (telephone, data, and electrical), so as to prevent magnetic interference.
