Netgear GS116 Switch can't find a power supply
I bought this switch second hand but the power supply I recieved (they took a random one from a pile of power adapters) doesn't match the ratings that the back of the switch are asking for, it wants 5VDC 5A, I cannot find a power supply with those ratings online after searching for one, when I search this exact model switch on the Netgear website the ones that come up in the results aren't the same even though they have the same model information, the ones listed all use completely different power adapter ratings. I am trying to find where I can buy the power supply that will be compatible with this, I will include photos.

Not sure sure why it says that on it but the data sheet for it shows 12v 1.5amp input. I'll attach the highlighted sheet and the support site I got it from.
