Description of Enhance Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ with LoveRPi Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE) HAT Kit + Translucent Case

ULTIMATE POWER OVER ETHERNET HAT FOR RASPBERRY PI 3 B+: Deliver clean and reliable power to the latest Pi 3 Model B+ by removing the problematic MicroUSB plug altogether! Power-over-Ethernet is both simple, power efficient, and cost effective compared to having multiple power adapters. BUILT FOR CLUSTER NODES: Simplify cable management and expand your on-premise cloud with POE! Power five, ten, twenty Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ boards through a single POE switch. This PoE HAT was designed to exceed the power delivery standards set by the official Raspberry Pi PoE HAT and other products available on the market. POWER OVER ETHERNET SWITCH REQUIRED: Network switch must be compliant with IEEE 802.3af PoE standard. PoE power output must be within the budget of the switch when powering multiple boards. PoE switch and Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ sold separately. ANODIZED HEATSINK AND VENTILATED CASE WITH COOLING FAN INCLUDED: Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ gets very hot and active cooling is the only way to prevent temperatures from exceeding 150°F! This kit includes everything you need to keep your PoE powered board operating at maximum performance. Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ sold separately!. NOT COMPATIBLE WITH RASPBERRY PI 4 OR RASPBERRY PI 3 MODEL B AND OLDER MODELS: Previous Raspberry Pi boards do not feature the onboard PoE header and will not be compatible with this device! Raspberry Pi 4 requires the newer HAT specifically for Raspberry Pi 4.

Works great, will be updated

Works great. Super easy installation. I carefully slid the PoE hat onto the main Pi board, attached a heatsink, connected the fan cables and off we went. The Pi will boot up once the Ethernet is connected to the PoE switch. When using a smart PoE switch, Raspberry Pies can be remotely rebooted by turning off the switch port. I really like the form factor of this PoE hat as it doesn't increase the height of the Pi and doesn't require any additional wiring. So far so good, I'll update when I have

Pros
  • ANODIZED COOLER AND AIR CASING WITH FAN INCLUDED: The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ gets very hot, and active cooling is the only way to keep the temperature from exceeding 150°F! This kit contains everything you need to get the best performance from your PoE powered board. Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ sold separately!

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

Extremely easy to install and works great

For the past few years my 3B+ (used for Pi-Hole) had a different 3rd party POE hat. It worked fine but I couldn't find a suitable case so I had to leave it open. Stumbled across this while looking for something different and decided to give it a try for $20. Works absolutely perfectly and it couldn't be easier to install. Removed the old HAT, installed the new one, plugged it into the case, plugged in the fan, plugged into the switch and it worked as expected. The only minor gripe is that the…

Pros
  • MAXIMUM ETHERNET PERFORMANCE FOR RASPBERRY PI 3 B+: Cleanly and reliably power the latest Pi 3 B+ model by completely removing the troublesome MicroUSB connector! Power over Ethernet technology is simple, energy efficient and cost effective compared to multiple power supplies.
Cons
  • boring packaging
