Axis Camera off Old 12V to 5V Converter

My team is building a demonstration robot out of old robot parts. We have an extra RoboRIO, which we are using to control it, but the rest of the control system (PDB, power converters, etc.) are from the old control system. Everything worked fine, and we got the robot driving. However, when we went to add an Axis camera (which we had), we found that the 5V output on the old PDB was fried. Someone probably shorted it at one point or another, and it no longer gives any output. We do, however, have an extra silver external 12V to 5V converter that is normally used for the DLink. Is there any reason why not to use a second one to power the camera? They both run off 5V, and the current draw is nothing near the converter's limit. I searched the archives, but couldn't find an answer. Any help or advice is appreciated.
