ABSTRACT:
A cable assembly for coupling, e.g., electrically, a plurality of electronic components such as TV's, VCR's, AM/FM tuners, speakers, etc., to a common power source, e.g., AC, which includes a input module adapted for being directly coupled to the power source, a junction module for being coupled to the input module, at least one adapter for being directly coupled to a respective electronic component and also to the junction module, a first flexible cable member for coupling the input and junction modules, and at least one second flexible cable member for electrically coupling the junction module and various adapters. In a preferred embodiment, each module (both input and junction) includes a housing with an associated circuit board located therein and each flexible cable member includes a flexible segment with electrical couplers on the opposing ends thereof for being directly connected to the various circuit boards used within the modules. A method of coupling the various electronic components is also provided.
