The power required from the 5 V DC supply for the bias circuit is extremely small (approximately 5 mA) so just about any small isolated 5 V DC supply will have more than necessary power rating. A low noise power supply with an output isolated from local ground is recommended to minimize the injection of differential noise onto the bus.
