An electrical connection box for wall mounting provides a recessed
external plug for receiving or transmitting power to electronic
components. The connection box is configured to receive a variety of
signal connection modules for interconnecting associated audio/visual
electronics such as DVD players, displays and the like in adjacent
apertures. The signal connection modules are inserted or extracted from
the face of the connection box; replacing blanking plates, and is
optionally recessed from the face of the box into the wall cut-out. The
configuration and mating features of the box and modules also provides
for a common and isolated ground reference for surge protection of the
connected components. A signal connection module includes circuitry for
surge protection of the connected A/V components receiving electrical
power from an adjacent wall socket. The protection circuits in the signal
connection module provides an isolated ground reference for the A/V
components sharing a common ground connection at the wall socket, or a
power conditioning module connected thereto.
