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.

12v 3a is 36w, which is what all the devices I’ve linked cap out at. Most of the devices have a power brick which puts out 12v at 2.5a.
