WAVESHARE PoE HAT (F) za Pi 5

Powering a Raspberry Pi 5 over Ethernet simplifies deployment in locations where a separate power adapter is inconvenient or impossible. The WAVESHARE PoE HAT (F) for Raspberry Pi 5 delivers up to 20W (5V/4A) from any IEEE 802.3af/at PoE switch or injector, eliminating the need for a USB-C power supply. Its isolated switching design and active cooling ensure stable operation even under continuous load.

Who is it for

This HAT is ideal for makers, IoT developers, and network administrators who want to install Raspberry Pi 5 boards in remote or hard-to-reach places—such as ceilings, walls, or outdoor enclosures—where running separate power lines is impractical. It is also perfect for building PoE-powered clusters, kiosks, or always-on edge devices.

Main features

• Compliant with IEEE 802.3af/at PoE standards for broad compatibility with PoE switches and injectors.
• Provides a regulated 5V DC output up to 4A (20W) to the Raspberry Pi 5 via the 40-pin GPIO header.
• Isolated switching power supply protects the Pi from electrical noise and ground loops.
• High-speed 25x25mm PWM-controlled cooling fan keeps the board cool under heavy loads.
• Built-in over-current, short-circuit, and over-temperature protection for safe operation.
• Plug-and-play installation: simply stack on the Pi 5 and connect an Ethernet cable.
• Power and network status LEDs for quick diagnostics.
• Standard HAT mounting holes for secure attachment.

Tips

Ensure your PoE switch or injector supports 802.3af/at and can deliver at least 15W for basic operation, or 20W for full performance. The fan speed adjusts automatically based on temperature; no manual configuration is needed. For best thermal performance, avoid blocking airflow around the HAT.
