The receptacle assemblies are disposed within a casing, in electrical communication with a power input plug extending outward from the casing. Each removable power adapter includes an adapter body, an adapter receptacle, and an adapter contact configuration. Each adapter contact configuration is configured to mate with a power outlet receptacle of a different country outlet configuration. The adapter receptacle is configured to electro-mechanically engage with each of the various country outlet configurations. In use, an individual user removes the removable power adapter for a desired country and inserts the removable power adapter between the power input plug and the power supply outlet. The user connects power plugs from electrically operated devices to the series of removable power adapters connected to the respective receptacle assembly within the casing to distribute power to the devices.
