[StarTech](https://www.digikey.com/en/supplier-centers/startech) offers a handy managed USB hub, their [5G4AINDRM-USB-A-HUB](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/startech-com/5G4AINDRM-USB-A-HUB/22260905). This device packs a lot of functionality into a convenient package, but it requires an external power supply and is not shipped with one. What sort of power supplies can you use?
