USB hub and 12V power supply in one?

Hi, I want to tidy up my rig a bit. I've got a rigrunner using Anderson's powerpoles, and a powered Kendrick USB hub. There are wires going everywhere. I'd like an all in one unit with fuses. I don't really want to get a device that has its own software. I know PrimaLuce have an Eagle but it seems needlessly complicated. I want to control it all with SGP, not the device's proprietary software. Is there a simple all-in-one power and USB supply? What do other people use?
I've got to supply a CCD, autofocuser, guidecam, heaters, mount and probably in the future a rotator (unless I get a gemini). I'll most likely piggyback another scope as well.
I'd be greatly appreciative of people's thoughts

Hi Franco

A similar question was asked a few weeks ago along similar lines.
I have purchased the Pegasus Astro Pocket Powerbox Advance from Cyclops Optics.
I’m extremely happy with unit.

It can be run using its dedicated software or it can also work without using software
It has powered usb3 hub, 4x12V switchable supplies, a adjustable 5-12V supply & 2x dew outputs

I highly recommend unit as well as highly recommended Cyclops Optics

Hey, thanks! I think this is exactly what I need. I'm a bit wary of something without foolproof fuses though
