I needed the smallest dock i could do, that featured:
Ethernet Type A USB host * Micro USB for power
It has an onboard linear voltage regulation (i didn't bother going with a switching one for such low power), magnetics integrated in the RJ45 connector to save space, USB host ESD protection (diode array), USB host PTC fuse.
