I'm currently planning a bit of a rejig of my home network, to suit changing circumstances, which means re-siting some of my kit to a new location, probably a ceiling-height shelf located in a walk-in 'open' cupboard off the hall. This will include my cable modem, wi-fi router, a network switch and a VOIP wireless base-station.
Looks like the most awkward part will be getting mains power to these devices, all of which of course have their own wall wart. It struck me that by far the 'easiest' solution to achieve this would be to take feed off the downstairs lighting circuit, and was wondering whether this would be a tenable option under the circumstances?
What I'd propose would be to fit a clearly labelled 5A FCU at ceiling height, to which would be hardwired a standard 4-way extension block on a short flex (ie, so it would only be able to sit on the ceiling-level shelf), into which I would plug the four wall-warts (total load no more than 100W maybe?).
Comments please?
Thanks David
