POE Hat for Rockpi 5B

karim · February 10, 2023

I have recently bought a rockpi5 and i was looking all over the internet for a POE hat module to power it up . However i was unsuccessful so far.
I have tried the poe hat i had for my rockpi 4 B but it doesn't physically fit so my question is will a POE hat for the rockpi 5 be anytime soon released ?

Hello,

I have had a similar problem with other devices that I want to power with PoE.

I know it's not exactly what you're looking for, but it's a good solution

Please see this link.

I power this way, a small switch, two RPi 4's, one NanoPi R4S and a Cubietruc.

All are working for now

Regards,

Hello,

Please
Just be careful when choosing the voltages, power consumption or amps and speed (Network) of the PoE modules, no matter which vendor it is from.
