Hello Everyone,
I just joined and I am happy to have found these forums.
I am reconnecting and making some editions to a rather complex home security, entertainment, computer network system here at home. Everything is centrally located in the basement. The problem I have is that there are a total of 13 "wall wart" dc transformers for repeaters, hubs, etc. Of the 13 transformers 9 are 12v with varying amp/Ma ratings. The total amperage of all of the 12v units equals 7.6amps. Is it possible to use an 12v 8 amp power supply run to a screw down terminal strip then feed all of the 12v units and eliminate the pile of transformers? I would think all units such as these would have a way of regulating the amount of current they draw but I cannot afford to be wrong. I have been trying to find the answer with no success so I figure it is either an obvious answer I just don't know or a very obscure idea.
Thank you in advance for your time and any help you can give on the matter.
Sincerely,
Rotokid
