<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Surprisingly this switch's PSU converts AC to only 5V.<br />
On idle and boot, it only consumes 15W. Of course with SPFs, and more connections, this will probably require more power.<br />
To this end, I chose a [https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DC12V-24V-to-5V-10A-50W-Step-Down-Converter-Boost-Voltage-Regulator-Module-Power/184345810840 50W 12v to 5V converter] (others are available, but i thought a wide range was a good idea).<br />
There is also enough space inside the case to contain the converter, and a switch to choose either AC of DC power sources.</div>Chewie
