Description Waveshare POE HAT for Raspberry Pi 5

The Waveshare POE HAT is an essential addition to the Raspberry Pi 5. This HAT uses Power Over Ethernet (POE). This means that both power and network connectivity are supplied via a single Ethernet cable. This is particularly useful for projects where power connections are limited. It supports the 802.3af/at network standard. This ensures broad compatibility with various network devices.

This HAT is not only efficient, but also powerful. It has a high power output with 5V 4.5A and 12V 2A outputs, allowing it to support more peripherals. A key feature is the onboard cooling fan, combined with a metal heatsink. This combination ensures optimal heat dissipation. This is essential for maintaining the performance and lifespan of the Raspberry Pi 5.

The design is compact with dimensions of 56.5 x 70.0mm. This makes it a perfect fit for the standard Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO header. The isolated switched mode power supply (SMPS) ensures safety and reliability. This makes this HAT ideal for both hobby and professional applications.
