PoE M.2 HAT+ (C) for Raspberry Pi 5

This PCIe HAT+ from Waveshare gives you an M.2 slot for 2230/2242 NVMe SSDs, 802.3af/at PoE with 5V 5A output and is compatible with the Raspberry Pi Active Cooler. It's essentially a 2-in-1 HAT for your Raspberry Pi 5, giving you a PCIe M.2 HAT combined with a PoE+ HAT!

The M.2 slot is controlled via PCIe and supports 2230 or 2242 M.2 NVMe SSDs, with the option to use this as a boot drive or storage. The PoE capability is PoE+ compliant (802.3af/at), using an efficient planar PoE transformer to provide 5V 5A required by Raspberry Pi 5. A 30W or greater PoE injector or switch is recommended.

The board also features LED indicators for SSD activity and power, as well as a slot to pass through camera/display (CSI/DSI) cables.

GPIO pins can be accessed once fitted, thanks to the included riser header. The package also contains all other accessories you'll need - M.2 mount screw, PCIe flex cable and metal mounting hardware.

Raspberry Pi 5 not included.
