Waveshare PoE HAT (F) Compatible with Raspberry Pi 5, High Power, Onboard Cooling Fan, with Metal Heatsink, Supports 802.3af/at Network Standard

The hat comes with everything you need to mount it, including a big heat sink that covers the chips on the board, and thermal padding. Mounting it is super easy, and it doesn't block the GPIO pins. It does significantly increase the height of your board but there are aluminum cases for RPi 5 here on Amazon that fit beautifully. The hat has a built-in fan that is very quiet. I used this with two different Unifi PoE switches and it worked flawlessly.

Easy to install and works as expected.

I'm happy to confirm this hat actually works on the Orange Pi 5 Pro as well as the Raspberry Pi 5. To make it work on the Orange Pi 5 Pro... * Trim the right most 4 header pins behind the USB port that block the inductor. * The heat sink does not fit Beyond the above, it fits the Orange Pi 5 Pro just fine. Bring your own little / short heatsink and you'll have a nicely packaged NVMe ARM64 board.

Talk about plug-and-play. All you need to do is set the hate onto the GPIO pins and you are ready to power the Pi, very easy and simple setup. The hat is also compact, so I am able to use them in my GreekPi 10" Pi cluster AND make use of the nvme stands that are built into the cluster. The active cooler is noticeable if you are listening for it, but overall pretty quiet.

Great PoE that works exactly as described. I did notice, however, that with the HAT on my pie, I was no longer able to fit my pie cover over the pie. This hat has been sitting on my pie in my utility room for several months now and is extremely reliable. I would recommend this for someone that wants to eliminate the need for a conventional power source or wants to free up an outlet.

These provide just what I need in terms of reducing clutter by eliminating redundant cords.

Product was DOA and killed the Raspberry Pi it was installed on. I contacted Waveshare support and received one response requesting videos of the no start, no LED condition and after supplying this never was contacted again. This will definitely keep me away from Waveshare products in the future.

This product worked amazingly well on my rPi 5s. So well I ended up ordering 5 more of them. Fits like a glove, provides all the power a rPi could need, and is literally plug and play. The fan/heatsync keeps it cool. Highly highly recommend.

Excellent pour de l'automatisation avec un switch PoE dirigeable pour compenser le wake on lan inexistant des Raspberry ça fait son taf en plus de six mois d'utilisations sur de multiples appareillage je ne déplore pour le moment aucune perte.

Nutze den Waveshare PoE-Adapter für meinen Raspberry Pi 4 – funktioniert einwandfrei! Einstecken, läuft. Kein separates Netzteil mehr nötig, was Kabelsalat spart und ideal für Gehäuse- oder Wandmontage ist. Verarbeitung ist solide, kein Überhitzen oder Ausfälle bisher. Klare Empfehlung für alle, die ihren Pi sauber per Ethernet und Strom versorgen wollen – vor allem bei Dauerbetrieb oder Projekten wie Home Assistant oder Pi-hole.

great delivery service

After a few months of running the ventilator of this board did go bad, making a lot of noise and running bad. Send an email to Waveshare support but no response.

Update after a few months of consistent use: I am now using more than ten of these in various projects, mostly using the Pi to operate large digital displays via HDMI. No issues with powering extra devices, full access to all of the GPIO pins, and access to the 12V header is a definite plus when it's needed. Some of my devices that are in enclosures with less than ideal ventilation run slightly warm but not warm enough to cause any issues. However, in enclosures with better airflow, temps have remained stable even while operating multiple sensors, background workers, and +43" always-on displays. Overall, I highly recommend these hats.
