Abstract

The present invention is directed to an electronic adapter that has a receptacle capable of receiving power cords. In addition to allowing access to a power receptacle from a single power source, the present invention eliminates the need to carry an extra extension cord to allow multiple users to power their accessories, i.e. notebook computers from a single power source.
