Looks to be perfect for what you want.

You'll need to make sure that the USB port that powers it is on all the time - if you power down that device the others will lose connectivity.

Sod’s law, out of stock everywhere.

So, bought a simple netgear 5 port switch.

I’d still like to power it by USB, so, wondering if this will work:

DC 5V to DC 12V USB Voltage Step Up Converter Cable YACSEJAO Power Supply USB Cable with DC Jack 5.5 x 2.1mm for Fan Led Light Router Speakers(1M/3.3FT) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09S8T6GRJ/ref=cm_sw_r_e...

This is a load of effort to avoid buying a power strip.

Also, I may be wrong but it may need to be connected to a PC and not just a power source.

With the USB adapter it says it needs 2 Amps, does the USB port you intend to use supply 2 Amps?

Thanks

I did suggest a Ubiquiti Flex Mini ... USB powered.

Absolutely no idea. It’s an ASUS GT-AXE11000

But then you use a USB-A to USB-C lead ... from power source to switch.

Yeah that makes it way more complicated than I was suggesting. So I was thinking of something like one of these which are powered by 5V out the box

https://www.tp-link.com/uk/business-networking/unman...

First is 100Mbps, second is 1Gbps but costs more. Then assuming it uses a standard 2.1mm DC jack plug one of these

There are USB to just about any DC jack plug leads available quite cheap on eBay/Amazon if it uses something else.
