Universal electrical wiring component

An electrical wiring method comprising:

• providing a wiring module having a first portion configured to couple to a source of electrical power and a second portion configured to couple and provide electrical power to a functional module that provides a selected electrical distribution function, wherein the wiring module is configured to couple to the functional module without accessing the first portion;
• providing an adjustable plaster ring configured to couple to the wiring module and to an electrical box, wherein the adjustable plaster ring is configured to provide a variable distance between the electrical junction box and the wiring module;
• coupling the wiring module to the adjustable plaster ring;
• and
• coupling a protective cover with respect to the wiring module so as to shield the second portion of the wiring module when no functional module is coupled to the wiring module.

A modular electrical wiring component comprising:

• a wiring module coupled to an electrical box, the electrical box comprising a front, a back and sides,
• the wiring module coupled to the electrical box via a ground wire, wherein the ground wire connects the electrical box with a first portion of the wiring module, the first portion of the wiring module configured to couple to a source of electrical power via a plurality of electrical wires, and
• a second portion of the wiring module configured to couple and provide the electrical power to a functional module that provides a selected electrical distribution function, wherein the second portion of the wiring module is configured to couple to the functional module without accessing the first portion of the wiring module coupled to the source of electrical power;
• a plaster ring configured to couple to the front of the electrical box;
• a protective cover configured to shield the second portion of the wiring module when no functional module is coupled to the wiring module;
• and
• a mounting bracket configured to attach to the electrical box and mount the electrical box to a wall stud.
