# 52Pi 4-Port USB 5V Power Supply Module for 1U Rack (6-24V Input, 0.91" OLED)

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** CE10329 · **Brand:** [52Pi](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/52pi-australia)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/52pi-4-port-usb-5v-power-supply-module-1u-rack.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/52pi-4-port-usb-5v-power-supply-module-1u-rack.html.md))

Power up to four USB devices from one 6–24V supply, with live voltage and current readouts on a built-in OLED. Made for tidy rack builds.

## Pricing

- **Price:** $29.60 (inc GST) — $26.91 AUD, exc GST

## Availability & dispatch

- In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney).
- We can dispatch 5 today; more stock is typically available with a 12–35 day lead time.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE10329:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE10329:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Feed in one DC supply, get four 5V USB outputs, and see how much current each one is drawing.

Powering a stack of Raspberry Pis, switches or USB gadgets usually means a pile of plugpacks and no idea what each device is pulling. This module takes a single 6–24V DC input and steps it down to 5V across four USB-A ports. Two TI INA3221 monitor chips measure voltage and current on the outputs, and the readings appear on a 0.91" OLED on the front panel.

An RP2040 controller board with the Pico pinout and USB-C comes pre-fitted. It talks to the monitors and display over I2C, so you can reprogram the readout. 52Pi provides MicroPython drivers and demo code to start with. You can change it to show port names, warning thresholds or logged data instead.

The board sits on an aluminium heatsink base behind a black metal faceplate with thumb screws, ready to mount in a rack alongside your cluster.

### Features

- Fewer plugpacks to manage: one 6–24V DC input powers four 5V USB-A ports
- See what every port is drawing: two INA3221 monitors measure voltage and current, shown live on the 128x32 OLED
- Make the display your own: the pre-fitted RP2040 controller can be programmed in MicroPython (52Pi supplies drivers and demo code) or C/C++
- Stays cool and quiet: an aluminium passive heatsink base, with no fan
- Rack-ready: a metal faceplate with hand-tightened screws for clean 1U installs
- Documented design: 52Pi publishes the schematic, libraries and example code on its wiki
