Abstract

At least one set of power transmission cable is electrically coupled to a power supply and an electronic device powered by the power supply. The power supply has a power output port. The power transmission cable comprises: a connector comprising a first connect part, a second connect part, and a third connect part vertical to the first connect part and utilized to insertedly joint to the electronic device; and an electrically-conductive line, which is electrically coupled to the second connect part and has an electric plug, wherein the first connect part is electrically coupled to the power output port of the power supply or separably and electrically coupled to the electric plug of the precedent electrically-conductive line to enable the user to determine the length and quantity of the power transmission cable to be connected according to the quantity of the electronic devices.

Claims

1. A power transmission cable, wherein at least one power transmission cable electrically interconnects a power supply having a power output port and electronic devices powered by said power supply,

wherein said power transmission cable comprises a connector, which further comprises:

a first connect part, a second connect part, and a third connect part, said third connect part insertedly joining to said electronic device; and

an electrically-conductive line, which is electrically coupled to said second connect part and has an electric plug,

wherein said first connect part is electrically coupled to said power output port of said power supply and separably and electrically to said electric plug of a previous electrically-conductive line.

2. The power transmission cable according to claim 1, wherein said electrically-conductive line is normally and electrically coupled to said second connect part.

3. The power transmission cable according to claim 2, wherein said second connect part is disposed horizontally with respect to said first connect part.

4. The power transmission cable according to claim 2, wherein said second connect part is disposed vertically with respect to said first connect part.

5. The power transmission cable according to claim 1, wherein the end of said electrically-conductive line has another one electric plug, which is separably and electrically coupled to said second connect part.

6. The power transmission cable according to claim 5, wherein said second connect part is disposed horizontally with respect to said first connect part.
