Two embodiments for distributing DC power in a building are provided. In the first embodiment, a centralized DC power converter is connected to the building's standard AC power wiring. The centralized DC power converter generates DC power for at least one DC-powered electronic device. The DC power is routed to DC outlets throughout the building over DC conductor sets. A second embodiment embeds a DC power converter in the outlet, which connects to standard AC power wiring. The embedded DC power converter then generates DC power for at least one DC-powered electronic device. A DC power outlet is also provided which may comprise one or more DC power receptacles or DC power cords and plugs, one or more status indicator LEDs, a retraction mechanism for each of the DC power cords, a cooling fan, and an embedded DC power converter. The DC power converters may be universal DC power converters.
