Is it possible to split 1 ethernet port to 4/5 without an additional power supply?

Hello,

I got Verizon 5G Home Internet. The modem that I received which is a white square shape with black holes on the top side comes only with 2 ethernet ports. It has a download speed of 300mbps and upload speed of 20mbps.

The power plug for the modem is huge and barely can fit the wall socket because of size limitation:

1.) Is there a way to to replace the power plug or charge the modem through a usb cable? It appears like there is some sort of usb port hidden in the bottom side (?)

Also I got this product to convert 1 ethernet port to 4 (excluding the “link” port):

TP-Link TL-SG105, 5 Port Gigabit Unmanaged Ethernet Switch, Network Hub, Ethernet Splitter, Plug & Play, Fanless Metal Design, Shielded Ports, Traffic Optimization, Limited Lifetime Protection

It works fine for each port and reaches the maximum speed mentioned above, but it requires a separate power plug supply for it.

2.) Is there a way to add an ethernet splitter/adapter that could add ethernet ports like that without the need for additional power supply plug which could still support the maximum speed mentioned? If so, is there a specific product you could recommend (better if it’s something from your personal experience)/Amazon link to it?

Thank you.
