Wouldn’t the 49-port one run into power problems? I have 7-port ones and they already have some intermittent flakiness.

@Michael Hearne
only if most of the devices are self-powered or low power. Technically, they’re allowed to draw 500mA, which would give you almost 25 amps to power the monster if all devices drew the max. Realistically, though, your 5A estimate isn’t bad considering the draw for most USB trinket lights/fans/humping dog things that would probably get plugged in to it.
