Review on Enhance Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ with LoveRPi Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE) HAT Kit + Translucent Case by Brian Samuel

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It just worked!: Computers and accessories

Small and compact. plug and play Worked as expected. No problems after a few months on POE. I disconnect it from a Unifi 16port 150W POE switch. I use a modified Viaboot Premium case. I simply cut out all the internal plastic parts and my 3B+ and this POE hat fit with no problems. As some others have said, the power LED is unnecessarily bright. Even with this Pi setup's case, the light was so bright green that it was forcing green light out of every possible slot in the case. In my case the LED is wrapped with a piece of black electrical tape, it helps.

Pros
  • POWER OVER ETHERNET SWITCH REQUIRED: The network switch must be IEEE 802.3af PoE compatible. The PoE output power must be within the budget of the switch when powering multiple boards. PoE switch and Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ sold separately.
Cons
  • old
