Product Overview
A compact Power-over-Ethernet HAT for the Raspberry Pi Zero series. With 802.3af-compliant power sourcing equipment, a single Ethernet cable delivers both network and power — and the board adds three USB ports.
Key Features
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| IEEE 802.3af PoE | Power and network over one cable |
| Isolated switch-mode supply | Safe, efficient power conversion |
| 10/100M RJ45 Ethernet (RTL8152B) | Wired networking for the Zero |
| 3 × USB 2.0 / 1.1 ports | More ports for peripherals |
Applications
| Application Area | Example Projects |
|---|---|
| Networked cameras | Ceiling or wall cameras on one Ethernet cable |
| Servers | Home servers and Pi-hole on PoE switches |
| Digital signage | Screens fed by network and power together |
| Industrial IoT | Sensor gateways in cabinets and ceilings |
| Clusters | Several Raspberry Pis powered from one switch |
Benefits
One cable
Power and network share a single Ethernet cable, so no power socket is needed near the Pi.
Tidy installs
Fewer adapters and cables make ceiling, wall and rack mounting simpler.
Central power control
A managed PoE switch can power-cycle a device remotely.
