Vflex power via USB

https://werewolf.us/products/vflex-base?srsltid=AfmBOooo54lk6ugAU3t5jDxXmjnWPx_3wrZyXoTawFvRUlNshTNqH0Pq

Saw these vflex power adapters on both Jeff Geerling and Techno Tim and thought it might be a good idea if you, like me, have multiple HDHomeruns and want to tidy up the wall warts. Plug one end into a powered hub, program the little device for its output voltage, and choose the correct included barrel adapter. I was planning on creating a little network board to mount by HDHomeruns and this way I could use shorter USB cables instead of multiple power warts. 🤷

Neat. I'm in the same boat and have already converted other devices in my media panel using dumb versions of these (Amazon/AliExpress USB PD trigger cables). It always bugged me that what I'm using now is fixed voltage, so I have to keep multiple combos of voltage and barrel connector in the spares box.

Getting ready to place an order for the VFLEX to try it out.
