Abstract

An adapter (500) having at least one socket portion (501) and connector means (502) by which a mains power signal can be delivered to or connected with said adapter, characterised in that said adapter is further provided with an electronics module which is not only powered by said mains power but effectively separates a digital signal therefrom, said digital signal being transmitted in conjunction with said mains power signal, and further characterised in that said adapter means provides at least one separate outlet (505), discrete from the other socket portion by means of which the mains power signal received at the connector means is transmitted.
