An adapter module for a portable computer keeps its power cables in its housing to maintain a tidy appearance. Cylinders, driven by torsion springs, roll power cables around themselves in the housing. A stop, driven by a spring, blocks teeth of cylinders to prevent the cylinders from rolling up the power cables. A button, operated by a user, is pushed against the stop to release the cylinders on which the power cables are retracted. When the adapter module is used to transmit power, power cables of desired length are extracted. When the module is not in use, the button is pressed to tract the power cables into the housing.
