Link USB power strips for a cluster?

[DevonBirch]

So Im thinking of building a Pine64 cluster for a homelab over a Pi for a couple reasons, also being able to order more than one of the same type.
Their website sells USB to barrel power adapters awesome! But I need a power strip that can output 5V 3A for at least four USB ports.
I am not honestly that familiar with power usage and finding pieces but I see a lot of 2.4Amps with a max total of 12Amps. Out of a USB power strip. Is 3A really just 2.4?192.168.0.1 routerlogin 192.168.l.l

If you have one floating around, you might also use an atx pc power supply. On the 5v rail, they can normally deliver 20A. A molex to micro usb cable is included.

2. Belkin SurgePlus: This power strip features six AC outlets and two USB ports, providing plenty of power and connectivity options for a larger cluster of devices.

3. Tripp Lite TLP606USB: This power strip features six AC outlets and two USB ports, as well as surge protection to help protect your devices from power surges.

4. AmazonBasics 6-Outlet Surge Protector: This is a basic power strip that features six AC outlets and two USB ports, making it a good choice for a small cluster of devices.

When choosing a USB power strip, make sure to consider the power requirements of your devices and ensure that the power strip can provide enough power to meet those requirements. Additionally, consider the length of the power cord and the placement of the devices to ensure that the power strip can be conveniently located to power all the devices in the cluster. Drift Boss

When it comes to power strips that include USB ports, it is essential to have a thorough understanding of the power output requirements and how these specs relate to the electronic devices that you intend to connect.geometry dash unblocked
