After being officially launched earlier this year by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, Adafruit has announced the arrival of the new Raspberry Pi PoE Hat, making it available for $20. Features of the Raspberry Pi PoE Hat include : 802.3af PoE, fully isolated switched-mode power supply, 37–57V DC, Class 2 device, 5V/2.5A DC output and 25x25mm temperature-controlled brushless fan to help keep everything running a little cooler.
Simply attach the standoffs in the four corners of the HAT, then connect to the 40-pin header. Once the HAT is connected, you can power your Pi through the RJ-45 network connector. “Power over Ethernet (PoE) can make your project wiring a breeze – instead of needing a wire for power and data, you can use one Ethernet cable for both” explains Adafruit.
“The Raspberry Pi Power over Ethernet HAT is a small accessory for the Raspberry Pi computer. It can only be used with the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ (launched March 2018). The PoE HAT allows you to power your Raspberry Pi using Power over Ethernet–enabled networks; for this product to be used, the network it is connected to needs to have power-sourcing equipment installed.”
