Not a very detailed description of that problem. If the actual
problem is a too-crowded outlet strip, then I's get a cheap extenstion
cord (with a smaller plug).

Why not? Define "big".
The ratings should be printed on the adapter and the C7000, and
should be found in the User Manual, too. Shop around, if you want.

Trying to put the plug into a built in wall outlet and then put a second plug in the other socket. Problem is, once I put in this large power brick, there is not room for the other plug. I am trying to hide as much as possible so an extension cord just worsens the problem .

can't see any of the stuff which you're not describing very well. You
seem to have a home-improvement problem, not a modem+router problem, so
this might not be the best forum for it.Previous advice still applies.
