Abstract: A network device includes a housing. Circuitry within the housing is for communicating information between first and second communication devices. The circuitry includes a first connection for connecting to the first communication device, a second connection for connecting to the second communication device, and a power connection for connecting the circuitry to an alternating current power source. A group of electrical prongs, mounted to the housing, is for insertion into at least one receptacle of the alternating current power source, and for mechanically supporting at least a portion of the housing's weight when the group of electrical prongs is so inserted. At least a portion of the group of electrical prongs is connected to the power connection for connecting the circuitry to the alternating current power source via the power connection and the group of electrical prongs when the group of electrical prongs is so inserted.
