Abstract
A wall plate assembly including a wall plate with an integrated USB module. The assembly includes a USB connector and printed circuit board formed together on the wall plate as an integral whole. By placing USB extender circuitry directly on the printed circuit board, rather than in a separate housing, the present assembly can maintain its bus-powered attributes without the bulk of a separate extender housing. A quick-connect coupling enables fast electrical connection and disconnection with a complementary quick-connect coupling on a USB wire.
