Abstract

A universal serial bus (USB) adaptor device for use in pre-wiring of any office or home in order to have wall outlets and/or floor outlets available for charging of peripheral electronic devices. The USB adaptor device includes a plate having one or more openings. The openings are used for receiving a USB power supply module therethrough. The USB power supply module includes one or more USB connector ports thereto. Each of the USB connector ports are used for charging peripheral electronic devices selected from the group including cell phones, PDA'"'"'s, MP3players, shavers, digital cameras, and games for using a USB-type plug in conjunction with the USB connector port.
