Power Over Ethernet HAT (F) for Raspberry Pi 5
The WaveShare PoE HAT (F) adds IEEE 802.3 af/at Power over Ethernet to a Raspberry Pi 5, delivering both data and power through a single cable. It mounts on the standard 40PIN GPIO header and leaves pin headers on top for stacking additional expansion boards. Builders who need a tidy, single-cable deployment for headless or remote Pi projects will find it a direct fit.
Practical limits of the 802.3 af/at standard
The onboard isolated switched-mode supply draws from a compliant power sourcing device and converts it to 5 V and 12 V rails for the Pi and peripherals. Total combined output is capped at 25 W, with the 5 V header rated for up to 4.5 A when thermal conditions allow. Systems that demand more than 25 W or require voltages outside the 5 V and 12 V rails cannot be powered from this HAT alone.
Metal heatsink, active fan and top-mounted headers
A metal heatsink and high-speed onboard fan actively cool the MP8759GD buck converter, sustaining higher continuous current without throttling. The top-side 40PIN pass-through keeps the GPIO stack accessible for HATs or sensors mounted above. Installers should allow clearance for the fan airflow and verify that any stacked board does not obstruct the heatsink fins.

Questions about this item
Which PoE HAT version should I choose for a Raspberry Pi 5?
The PoE HAT (F) is built for the Raspberry Pi 5 using the standard 40PIN GPIO header and includes a metal heatsink with an onboard cooling fan.
What does the 25 W total output mean for my Pi 5 and peripherals?
The 5 V header supplies up to 4.5 A and the combined 5 V plus 12 V rails can deliver 25 W, so the Pi 5 and attached devices share that budget.
What does the 802.3 af/at standard cap in practice?
The HAT complies with IEEE 802.3 af/at, allowing a single Ethernet cable to carry both network data and power from a compliant source.
