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.
Interesting, but mind you that some USB-C adapters may only be rated for 5V 3A or 12V 3A and will not be able to deliver the full rated 45/60/100W of power at lower voltages.
never even considered that - I’d be curious to hear how you get on
I use one from Amazon as you show, 12V and 9V. No problem, I use about 9 month.
I bought 12v trigger board from AliExpress for different thing (medical device) since its own battery was 150€ and using usb-c pd brick was 1/5 of the price.
Works really well, no complaints from here. It takes 2A of current only so that might be limiting factor.
At 12v you can draw only up to 1.5A.
Ugreen chargers will reboot ports to distribute power to all ports (so all devices will be rebooted)
