Hi,
As you will no doubt be aware whenever we buy a new peripheral or gadget you sometimes get a power block.
Well it’s getting to the point where they are just to bog or you have too many. Does anyone know of a company that can supply smaller power blocks?
With longer leads would be a bonus.
Thanks
Mat

No simple answer to this since the output in terms of both voltage and current varies from supply to supply... Even the polarity of the output on the plug can be either way 'round....

The physical size of the 'block' is determined by the compnents necessary to give the required output...

Theoretically you could have a single PSU (whcich would probably be quite large!) with multiple outputs. But matching voltage, current and polarity to various devices isn't something I'd want to leave to an end user... Nor would I want the laibilities associate with equipment being damaged through being fed the wrong voltage...
