HatDrive! POE+ for Raspberry Pi 5

Good things come to those who wait, and that’s certainly the case when it comes to the Pineboards PoE+ HAT! It’s a top-mounted Power over Ethernet HAT+ for the Raspberry Pi 5, combining convenient power and connectivity with fast NVMe storage.

Full PoE+ support (up to 25 Watts) means that you can give your Raspberry Pi 5 the full 5V 5A that it wants, and speaking of which, there’s no need to do anything to enable that. During the boot process, it will be detected and prevent USB power from being limited!

With both PoE+ and an M.2 M-Key connector on board, you don’t have to worry about choosing one over the other. You can utilise the convenience of Power over Ethernet whilst still using high-speed boot storage over an M.2 2230, 2242, or 2280 NVMe drive.

We made sure to source a high-quality PoE module for this board, it’s manufactured in the UK, and we put it through some extreme workloads for extended periods to ensure there are no surprises when you throw this into your home lab.

Quick Facts 

No compromise: Have your cake and eat it too with fast NVMe boot storage and PoE+ on a single Raspberry Pi 5 HAT+.

Everything just works: Get the full 5V 5A out of the box, giving your USB devices the power they need.

Premium components: We sourced a high-quality, European PoE module and put it through its paces. You’re in good hands!

Easy access: A cut-out allows quick and easy access to both camera/display connectors

High-quality accessories: As always, you’ll receive our high-quality, impedance-controlled PCIe cable, and all-metal screws and spacers. 

Cool under pressure: We’ve tested it extensively under maximum power load. Cool as a cucumber!
