An object is to provide a compact AC adaptor integral-type
household-power-line coupler capable of simplifying a structural
arrangement of an apparatus containing a communication terminal, and also
capable of improving a handling characteristic and an outer appearance
thereof. The AC adaptor integral-type household-power-line coupler is
arranged by employing a household-power-line power converting/supplying
unit 7 connected to a plug unit 4, for supplying electric power to a
communication terminal, the plug unit being employed to be coupled to a
household-power-line plug socket; a household-power-line carrier signal
coupling unit 8 for inputting/outputting a signal via the plug unit 4 to
the communication terminal; and a casing unit 6 containing thereinto both
the household-power-line power converting/supplying unit 7 and the
household-power-line carrier signal coupling unit 8.
