A cable enclosure includes a housing defining an opening through which an interior of the housing is accessible. An end plate is releasably secured to the housing to cover the opening such that the interior of the housing is not accessible. The end plate includes a first conductive leg in electrical communication with a first cable within the housing. The end plate also includes a second conductive leg in electrical communication with a second cable within the housing. The end plate further includes a conductive member movable between a first position and a second position. When in the first position, the conductive member is in contact with the first conductive leg and the second conductive leg. When in the second position, the conductive member is not in contact with at least one of the first conductive leg or the second conductive leg.

A wall plate for covering an AC/DC wall outlet includes a generally rectangular or “designer” opening configured to receive the wall outlet. The wall plate includes a cable retention member and a pass-through section. The cable retention member and the pass-through section protrude from a front face of the wall plate. The retention member protrudes far enough to allow the wall plate to seat on the outlet while a cable connector is in a corresponding DC outlet of the wall outlet. The retention member includes a slot configured to allow the connector to pass-through the slot in a first orientation but not a second orientation 90 degrees off from the first orientation. When the connector is in the DC outlet, it is in the second orientation relative to the slot. The pass-through section defines an opening that allows the connector to be received in a second DC outlet corresponding to the pass-through section regardless of orientation of the connector relative to the opening and pass-through section. The cord retention member and pass-through section cooperate to form a bridge between sides of the wall plate over the AC outlet. In one embodiment, the pass-through section extends vertically further from the face of the plate than the cord retention member.

A combined power strip plug and night light includes a plug body arranged on a power socket on an indoor wall. The plug body completely covers the power socket. The plug body includes a bottom cover, a power supply board arranged in the bottom cover, an upper cover connected with the lampshade, and a lampshade. The upper cover is fixed on the bottom cover. The power supply board is electrically connected with the power socket through a plug pin assembly. The plug pin assembly is arranged on the power supply board. A light sensor and a touch spring are arranged on the power supply board. A photosensitive transparent cover for the light sensor to receive light is arranged on the upper cover. A touch position is defined on the upper cover. The touch position is touched to trigger a touch sensing of the touch spring.

A socket structure includes a casing, a switch, a linkage, a first hook, a gear, a rotating arm, and a second hook. The switch is exposed from the casing and disposed movably to the casing along a first direction or a second direction. The linkage is located in the casing and linked to the switch, and has a rack. The first hook is exposed from the casing and linked to the linkage. The gear is located in the casing and engages with the rack. The rotating arm having one end pivotally connected to the gear is located in the casing. The second hook is exposed from the casing and linked to the other end of the rotating arm. When the switch moves along the first direction, the linkage drives the first hook to move, the gear drives the rotating arm, and the second hook moves to an unlocked position.

An elevated outlet assembly includes a tripod that has a base and a plurality of legs each extending downwardly from the base. Each of the legs engages a support surface thereby elevating the base upwardly from the support surface. A disk is disposed on the base and a plurality of female electrical outlets is each integrated into the disk to receive a power plug from an electronic device. Each of the female electrical outlets is elevated when the tripod is positioned on the support surface to inhibit the power plug from the electronic device from coming into contact with moisture on the support surface. A power cord is coupled to and extends away from the disk and the power cord can be plugged into a power source to supply electrical power to the respective electronic device.

A device for providing a connection to electrical energy, the device includes an electrical outlet with at least one receptacle, a control circuit and functionality to generate one or more electrical pulses to indicate whether there is an insertion, or a lack of an insertion, into the at least one electrical receptacle. The device can be an in-wall electrical outlet and/or a power-cord based electrical outlet. The device includes a capacitive touch array comprising a plurality of capacitive touch buttons. The capacitive touch buttons control a plurality of function of the at least one receptacle, based on at least a user interaction with the plurality of capacitive touch buttons. The device may also monitor, display and/or transmit a plurality of electrical usage data related to a device powered by the electrical outlet. The functionality of the outlet may also be provided as part of a power cord coupled to a device and inserted into an electrical outlet.

An electrical cable connecting system includes a modular electrical or electronic wiring device assembly, in which an electrical or electronic wiring device and a connector may be electrically coupled via pig-tail jumper electrical wires. The connector may be coupled to cable electrical wires fitted with a cable protector to protect the electrical wire conductors therein. The connector may include internal electrical terminals for electrically coupling building electrical cable wires with corresponding jumper electrical wires. The connector may be mechanically and electrically coupled to and directly terminate one or more building electrical cables, which may provide power to or from one or more electrical or electronic wiring devices by establishing an electrical pathway from a source of electrical power, through the building electrical cable wires, the connector, the pig-tail jumper electrical wires and an electrical or electronic wiring device.

An electrical header for use in an electrical connector assembly includes a body for mounting to an object and having an opening formed therethrough for receiving an electrical terminal. The body further defines a plug on a first side thereof for engaging with a mating electrical connector of the assembly. The plug includes a pair of first opposing sidewalls extending from the body a first height and defining a locking feature for engaging with a corresponding locking feature of the mating connector, and a pair of second opposing sidewalls extending from the body at a second height, less than the first height. The first and second pairs of opposing sidewalls are adapted to mate with a first mating connector oriented in a first direction with respect to the header, and mate with a second mating connector oriented in a second direction with respect to the header and distinct from the first direction.
