I’m looking at clearing down some of the power bricks that are in my homelab along with plug requirements. There’s 3 devices that run off of 12v, so the current idea is to buy something like this:

https://uk.ugreen.com/products/ugreen-nexode-200w-usb-c-gan-charger-6-port-desktop-charge

And then this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0B9FDZX7P

With the aim of powering:

  • Beelink Mini-S12
  • Virgin Media Hub 3 (this is the worst power brick)
  • asus dsl-ax82u
  • Raspberry Pi 4 (no converter needed, but will eliminate a plug)

I’m aware this is a single point of failure, it will be plugged into a UPS. I’m just wondering on the viability of it all.

    Have you looked at Poe adaptors? You can get them that take in Poe, give out ethernet and 12v, the only concern may be current capabilities.
