PoE HAT for Raspberry Pi 5

Specific Advantages of the Waveshare PoE HAT:

This PoE HAT offers several notable advantages, including simplified power supply and cable reduction. It enables Raspberry Pi to be powered directly via an Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for a separate power supply, reducing the number of cables required and simplifying installation. By using PoE, a single Ethernet cable can provide both the power supply and the network connection, enabling a cleaner, tidier installation, particularly in environments where space is limited.

Designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi 5 model, this Waveshare PoE HAT stands out with its high power output, offering 5V 4.5A and 12V 2A outputs. This allows it to support a variety of additional peripherals.

Another major advantage is its cooling system, which consists of a board fan and a metal heatsink. This combination ensures optimal heat dissipation, making it ideal for ensuring good performance and durability of the Raspberry Pi board.

The connection is relatively simple and quick: you just need to plug the PoE HAT into the 40PIN GPIO port of your Raspberry Pi 5.

In addition, the isolated switching power supply (SMPS) provides increased safety and reliability. Its compact dimensions of 56.5 x 70.0 mm save space.

This makes this PoE HAT ideal for a variety of applications, whether for hobbyists or professional projects.
