Power Over Ethernet HAT for Raspberry Pi 4B and 3B+
This HAT adds IEEE 802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet to Raspberry Pi 4B and 3B+ boards. It accepts 37 V to 57 V DC from a PoE switch or injector and delivers a regulated 5 V 2.5 A supply to the Pi. The board fits inside the official Raspberry Pi case without modification. It is not for users who need PoE+ (802.3at) power levels or compatibility with earlier Pi models lacking the PoE header.
Isolated SMPS with 5 V 2.5 A output
The onboard fully isolated switched-mode power supply converts the PoE input to a clean 5 V rail rated at 2.5 A. This single specification decides whether the HAT can run your Pi plus attached peripherals under load. If your total 5 V draw exceeds 2.5 A you must supply power by another method. The module does not support 802.3at Class 4 power budgets.
Active cooling fan for sustained operation
A high-speed active cooling fan is integrated directly on the HAT to dissipate heat from the SMPS during continuous PoE operation. This keeps the power supply within safe thermal limits when the Pi runs at full load for extended periods. The fan draws power from the same 5 V rail, so the 2.5 A budget must cover both the Pi and the fan. It is not for silent, fanless deployments.
