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:

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.
I took a look around for high-ampage 12v DC power supplies. There’s a few out there which do 12v at 12.5a and provide a DC jack splitter (https://www.amazon.co.uk/12V-12-5A-Power-Supply-Replacement/dp/B0BQJ4B8FT), but that’s using a brick power supply.
The reason I’m keen to get rid of the power bricks is due to the space constraints I have. If I can replace 4 devices bulky power supplies with 4 USB plug ones (like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08CDDSVN4) then I’ll be happy.
If I had more space then I would absolutely go for something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Surom-Universal-Regulated-Switching-Computer/dp/B072J97N8T and custom-do my cables.
