According to IFI "The current limit of the +5V Aux from all 4 ports is about 100mA. The Aux Fault Led will start illumination when the current draw from the +5V Aux Outputs total about 120 mA and the +5V Aux voltage will have dropped to about 4.5 volts. Worse case, short condition: after about 30 seconds, the voltage will be at about 300 mV with a current of about 250 mA."

Now, I don't know if that means 100 mA from each port, or 100 mA from all four combined.
