A centralized connections unit for power and data. This device simplifies computer setup and networking by offering advanced cable management while simultaneously providing a power source with battery power backup. The unit contains everything needed to connect the computer, Internet, and peripheral devices from one portable location. Moreover, its sleek design with minimal exposed cabling makes computer setup less intrusive. The basic model includes one `box` that encases all of the contents. To provide a power source to the computer and its devices, a retractable reel inside the box holds a solitary power extension cable. Cables are bundled together and encased in tubing to form the `arms` of the box. A main tower arm (or artery) that connects to the computer's tower, and the desktop arm connects the computer monitors and other peripheral devices. These arms include virtually all types of cables to accommodate all different types of computers.
