What plug fitting, though?

USB type A is probably the most portable micro-power supply format in
existence and locally compatible adapters are easily available in almost
all countries in the world.  Requesting that the RIPE NCC provide PSUs
is turning a minor quibble on the part of Atlas users into a major
stocking and expense headache for the RIPE NCC.

Also, most switches, routers and home CPEs have USB type A sockets in
them, which are ideal for powering probes.  Personally I've never
connected up a probe on its own dedicated power supply.
