hdmi splitter power

[Gizego]

Looking on amazon i can only found hdmi splitters that plugs are in electrical outlet. I can find things with eu plug but one time i will run out of plugs(i have 4(energy splitter- if i add another its a little risky to have a lot of devices connected in the same plug)wiiu,pc,monitor,splitter and when i want to charge something?). IS there some hdmi splitter with usb power or usb power isnt enough? Thanks.

No, the 5v and 1a of usb power is not enough.
Why dont you just buy a power strip/surge protector with more outlets?

All my devices are connected to 1 to 4 one but if i connect another its a little risky to plug a lot of devices in the same plug.

No, it is only risky if you push the amperage of your breaker or the amperage of your outlet.

Not sure about EU, but in USA most circuits have 20a breakers and 15 amp outlets. I have not one but 2 computers, 3 monitors, 1 router, 1 switch, 1 2.1 speaker set, and a printer all running from the same outlet.

You have to realize that your devices dont pull that many amps on the AC side. A typical computer does not even pull 100 watts on a 120v system, thus it is not even pulling 1 amp.

Now if you daisy chained power strips with vacuum, and air compressor, and electric power tools all running the same time then yep you could cause a problem, even more so if that was a super cheap power supply with 18 or 20 awg wiring.
But as long as your surge protector is rated accordingly and as long as you dont exceed the amperage of your outlet or breaker then there is nothing to worry about.

Why don't you get something like this:

That way you can turn off the outlet when not in use if you think power is an issue.

I use something similar in my gaming room I currently have a 8 outlet PDU with switches so I can turn off some of my systems when not in use so they don't leech power.

Mine is like that but eu plug is different that uk plug but thanks. I think i will buy another but i will not have a lot of things on. While im using pc wiiu is plugged but turned off. That means that wiiu does not make any diference.

A typical computer does not even pull 100 watts on a 120v system, thus it is not even pulling 1 amp.

I would like to address this minor mistake. A typical computer will draw more than 100 watts. Today's CPUs all on their own will draw 50-70W at 100% usage. A typical gaming card will draw 20-250W. Hard drives and SSDs, memory, the mother board, plus whatever the PSU consumes. Throw in whatever sound amplifier you're using and you've got some power draw.
Wattage remains the same regardless of voltage. Thus, if your computer is drawing 500W of power on the 12V line, then it is pulling at least 4.34 amps from the 115V wall. It will be more because nothing works at 100% efficiency.

However, it all depends on how much each plug device draws. A single 100W lamp will draw about as much as 20 5W wall warts. Imagine having 20 wall warts plugged into a single outlet? Yet, they all add up to only 100W while a typical wall plug can safely handle up to 1725W and a 20A circuit breaker can manage up to 3300W before it trips.
But if you plug a 1500W gaming machine in, plus a laser printer, 3 monitors, a big ass stereo with powered subs... maybe a toaster+microwave+heated massaging gaming chair with shiatsu point detection (lol)... yeah, you can overload it with just a few things.
