Review on πŸ’‘ UCTRONICS Raspberry Pi 4 PoE HAT: Power Over Ethernet Expansion Board for Raspberry Pi 4 B and 3 B+ by Ans Brownlee

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good, but serious flaws!

So good. It fits very well in a compact case with an HDMI capture card that can be used for IP-KVM. The disadvantage is. It burns the cake and poe port when used. I thought I shorted out the first one, burned out the 8GB pie as well as my PoE switch in addition to the 4GB pie before figuring it out. So great form factor. Very easy to install. Nice and compact. The pens make it very useful. The only disadvantage. I can't use it! Does not work with HDMI capture card. I'm not sure why. Luckily, Revain's customer service said they would fix the problem. If you're using your Pi without any accessories, you should be fine. I can't tell you if this was the specific device I received or if they are all like that. I can tell you that I'm frustrated with this situation and am going back to PoE with a foreign key, which works great, if a bit ugly.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • So far so good
