2. HomePlug - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomePlug

   In a simple home network, the Internet gateway router connects via Ethernet cable to a powerline adapter, which in turn plugs into a nearby power outlet. A second adapter, plugged into any other outlet in the home, connects via Ethernet cable to any Ethernet device (e.g., computer, printer, IP phone, gaming station). Communications between the ...

3. Three-prong adaptor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-prong_adaptor

   The ground tab is designed to be attached to the outlet faceplate screw, which is supposed to be connected to the building electrical ground. A cheater plug, AC ground lifter or three-prong/two-prong adapter is an adapter that allows a NEMA 5-15P grounding-type plug (three prongs) to connect to a NEMA 1-15R non-grounding receptacle (two slots).

4. NEMA connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEMA_connector

   The 20 A plug has a blade rotated 90° (opposite blade from what would be the "line" blade on a 2-15 or 5-15 plug. This prevents accidental insertion of plugs into outlets that use different voltages), and the 6-20R receptacle has a T-shaped hole to accept both 6-15P and 6-20P plugs (similar to the 5-20R receptacle accepting 5-15P and 5-20P plugs).

5. Power-line communication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-line_communication

   Power line adapter. Power-line communication (PLC) is the carrying of data on a conductor that is also used simultaneously for AC electric power transmission or electric power distribution to consumers. The line that does so is known as a power-line carrier. In the past, power lines were solely used for transmitting electricity. However, with ...

6. Powerlock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powerlock

   Single-pole power connectors are employed for making electrical power connections where multi-pole connectors and cables would be impractical to handle due to size, weight and cable bend radius. They are typically used for connecting to large generators and fixed power sources in venues where high-powered temporary equipment may be regularly used.

7. AC power plugs and sockets - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power_plugs_and_sockets

   A plug is the connector attached to an electrically-operated device, often via a cable. A socket (also known as a receptacle or outlet) is fixed in place, often on the internal walls of buildings, and is connected to an AC electrical circuit. Inserting ("plugging in") the plug into the socket allows the device to draw power from this circuit.
