I built a six port box using four LM7809 voltage regulators connected to DC jacks and two LM7805 regulators connected to USB jacks and I use a 12VDC wall wart to power it. I call it ... DC/DC 😏 (I handle different polarities with the DC patch cables I made.)
Thank you! I have tons of pictures but no video of the build. I am planning on building a second one (since this one has not caught on fire!) and making a video of that process. The 5V USB jacks were a good idea but my skills installing them were not so for my 2nd box I will use 12V instead of 5V and see how that works out. The overall design is very simple, relatively speaking of course -- just the voltage regulators, two capacitors for each one and two more for the input voltage, a protection diode and LED + resistor. And a bunch of DC jacks. Thanks again for your videos I really appreciate them! :)

Wow! That's great, exactly the kind of project I wanted to do right after this one. Good job! Do you have a picture or a video of your build?

@@HazeAnderson great great! For sure it didn't catch fire the LM 78xx are such a good regulator! :) ahah
