To run your switch. perhaps get a small UPS (600VA or so) and replace the battry inside with a lithium drop in replacement. (depending on how much power your switch needs, model?)

Reminds me,once I was busy changing phones to a nifty cordless phone I had lying around (Telkom days)Whirrrr pop has been averted
Plugged in the PSU
Whirrrrrrr.......Pop
It went and some smoke appeared
Turns out there was another PSU in the cupboard with the same barrel connector. I had plugged in a 12v supply instead of the 5v it wanted

Done, would 9V pop the switch?
I have one of these. It does ONT and two routers way over 4 hours.

Tired of getting stuck without internet when the electricity goes out? Fear no more! The Netogy Mini UPS100 Plus will help you stay online. This compact UPS/Power Bank supplies uninterrupted power to your Fibre box (ONT) should you have one, and your Fibre or LTE router.www.webafrica.co.za
Where can I get a cable with DC-DC?
I want to use the 19v output to run a laptop
That will bark louder than my German Shepard! However, it will only bark once, then it will remain silent forever...

Erm... If you don't have heat shrink, at least use insulation tape. You can buy anywhere and it's cheap.

Wasn't done yet would have been insulated but thought I'd check in first.
BTW, for those who keep asking - 'will this unit power my devices, here are the specs"...
Multiply the V by the A for each device to give you watts used.
Add all the watts together.
Look at the total watts of the "ups" thing you want to buy.
(Watt Hours, if given, means a max of x watts for 1 hour).
Eg.
A router shows 12V, 1.2A = 14,4 Watts power usage.
If your backup device is 60Wh, then it'll power that router for about 4 hours if nothing else is on it. (Probably longer, as that'll be max usage)
