Description of Waveshare Raspberry Pi PoE+ HAT Compatible With Raspberry Pi 3B+/4B 802

The Raspberry Pi PoE+ HAT is a Power Over Ethernet (PoE+) accessory for the Raspberry Pi 3B+/4B. Compared to its predecessor Raspberry Pi PoE HAT, it features better cooling effect. Implementing the 802.3af/at standard with 5V DC/4A larger power output, providing enough power for both Raspberry Pi 3B+/4B at max load and other peripherals at the same time. By using this small HAT and some proper 802.3af/at-compliant power sourcing equipments. It is possible to provide both network connection and power supply for your Raspberry Pi in only one Ethernet cable.

Works but too loud to stand on a desk

As shown on packaging. Run a few of them with a Raspberry Pi 4. The fan is awfully loud to sit next to, but outside the door I can just forget about it.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • No paint required

Limits bandwidth on ethernet port

It must have caused a lot of noise on the ethernet port because my speed has dropped a lot, I'm talking about 25-75 kbps I need one anyway be gigabit connection. My length was well below the Category 6 limit, about 200 feet max. I'm using this in an industrial application so removing them and installing normal power supplies was no easy task, but I learned my lesson from it. I throw six of them in the trash. And yes, this is the "V2" version with a small addition; Instead of fixing the problem,

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Powered by Pi4, suitable for single board computers

Works great on Pi4 configured as NAS. In any case, a cased Pi4 needs active cooling, so it's nice to get rid of excess cable. No voltage errors and excellent temperatures.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Cable shorter than other models

Not a great design. Header not available without additional parts

If you don't use I/O pins, this board will do. If so, you need to change your plans a bit. There are pinholes on this board, but you need to lengthen them. This is not a problem for the 20-pin connector, as everyone carries the necessary part with them. However, the 4-pin connector required for the PoE function is very difficult to find. As far as I can tell you won't find a connector or a 2 pin connector on the Revain. This board costs the same as the Pi itself. It must include the fraction of

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Low maintainability

Very simple and good temperature control

Installed on 3B+ without heatsink. As others have said, the hat profile will get in the way of a tall heatsink, and the 3b+ has a different die coating that dissipates heat better than previous versions. I also use mine in a C4labs case/chassis so my fan runs more frequently and after looking at some chip temperature logs I found that the fan kicks on at around 50C which is GOOD for the chip's operating temperature . I believe the speed will be throttled at 80C. Anything between 50C-75C is…

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Mostly ok but...

Fan can be controlled from /boot/config.txt with updated Rasbian

Bought for the cool factor that goes for a pi hole setup. Has been working flawlessly for a few days! :) Fits p3b+ like a glove and really connects once connected. Booted with a fresh SD image. Most of time. I was unaware of Ubuntu's changes to the snappy/core image setup and it failed to start after several attempts to boot the kernel. I suspect that this module did not cause a kernel panic. but it was worth checking it out fully in hindsight. I initially suspected hardware/power issues given…

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Older model
