A cordless telephone outlet device that not only provides the cordless
telephone access to a telephone network, but also provides the cordless
telephone the proper DC electrical energy for proper operation
eliminating the need for an unsightly external DC power supply typically
connected to an AC outlet. Further, the device significantly reduces
exposure of the telephone line connection between the cordless telephone
and the telephone network. The outlet device comprises a body having a
communications connector mounted thereon and a base attached to the body.
The base contains DC power supply circuitry that is connected to a source
of AC electrical energy. The output of the power supply circuit is
connected to a DC line terminated with a DC male plug. The cordless
telephone can be directly mounted onto the device allowing the
communications connector of the cordless telephone to engage directly
with a corresponding communications connector mounted onto the device of
the present invention while the device also provides DC power to the
cordless telephone via the DC male plug. Alternatively, a relatively
short telephone line cable can be used to electrically connect the
respective communications connectors with the cordless phone mounted onto
the outlet device of the present invention.
