5V power distriubtion

[hucker]

I have used an elk PD9 power distribution module to handle 'fusing' multiple devices sitting on a single 12V power supply. I just got all of my networking gear in the can and the firewall and switch are 5V devices (as is one other device in the can). I'd like to use the elk power distribution module for this but it is rated for 6-30V. Is there something out there that will take the output from 5V switcher and give me multiple fused outputs?

Looking at the PD9 I don't see any issues with running it at 5V. The only issue I see is maybe a voltage drop issue at depending on the wire length, wire gauge and distance.

Just a suggestion, but if you only have a couple of five volt sources maybe just consider converting the fused 12 VDC outputs to 5 VDC. If your handy with circuits maybe use something like an LM7805 regulator...

You should be able to run 5V through the PD9 with no problems.
