Abstract
A one piece jumper power cord molded out of rubber or some other insulating material. The one piece power cord conforms to the rear shape of a vertical stack of electronic devices that it interconnects. By keeping the power cords short and properly shaped, power can be jumpered from a lower device housed in a lower enclosure of the vertical stack to an upper device housed in an upper enclosure without a loose jumper cord dangling therebetween, wasting space and providing a possible hazard for passing objects or persons to catch on.
