PoE+ HAT pour Raspberry Pi 5, compatible avec le boîtier officiel

Description

PoE+ HAT for Raspberry Pi 5: power and connect your Pi with a single cable

No more multiple sockets and piles of cables. This Waveshare PoE / PoE+ HAT powers your Raspberry Pi 5 directly through the Ethernet cable while also providing the network connection. One cable, two functions.

Why does PoE make life easier on a Raspberry Pi project?

When you deploy a Raspberry Pi far from a mains socket (garage, attic, sheltered outdoor area, technical room, ceiling for a camera…), you quickly run into a simple problem: you need power and network access in the same place. With PoE (Power over Ethernet), a single RJ45 cable is enough:

• No power adapter to find or run
• No electrical socket needed nearby
• Just one cable to route, wherever the project is

Technical specifications

• Standard : IEEE 802.3af/at (PoE / PoE+)
• PoE input : 38V to 57V DC (supplied by a PoE switch or an injector)
• Power output : 5V up to 5A via the GPIO header
• Connector : 40-pin GPIO, standard Raspberry Pi format
• Isolated switching power supply (SMPS) for clean, efficient conversion
• Dimensions : 64.98 × 64.98 mm
• Compatibility : Raspberry Pi 5
• Case compatibility : compatible with the official Raspberry Pi 5 case

What it changes in practice

One installation, two needs covered. The HAT takes the power carried over the Ethernet cable (38-57V DC) and converts it into a stable 5V/5A to power your Raspberry Pi 5, which otherwise stays connected to the network as usual.

Up to 5A available. Enough to cover the needs of the Raspberry Pi 5 even with power-hungry USB peripherals connected (external drive, hub, dongle).

Compact, easy-to-integrate mounting. The HAT attaches directly to the 40-pin GPIO header, with no adaptation or electronic tinkering. It is designed to fit inside the official Raspberry Pi 5 case without modification or cutting: you keep a clean, protected setup even with the HAT added.

⚠️ Important note before buying

PoE only works if your Ethernet cable is connected to a PoE power source compatible with IEEE 802.3af/at:

• A PoE/PoE+ network switch
• Or a PoE injector placed between your standard switch and the Raspberry Pi

Without one of these two sources, the Ethernet cable will only provide network access, not power: you will then need to keep a standard USB-C power supply.

Box contents

• 1 × PoE HAT (J)
• 1 × 2×2 header, 2.54 mm pitch
• 1 × 2×20 header, 2.54 mm pitch
• 1 × standoff kit

Maker project ideas

• Home server or mini-NAS installed far from a socket (cellar, garage, technical room)
• Network monitoring or CCTV camera, powered by a single cable
• Connected display (dashboard, digital signage) mounted on the ceiling or up high
• Home automation hub or remote IoT node in the house
• Integration into a closed enclosure with no accessible mains socket

Installation

The HAT clips directly onto the 40-pin GPIO header of the Raspberry Pi 5, with the supplied standoff kit for stable mounting. It fits easily inside the official Raspberry Pi 5 case. Once connected to an active PoE Ethernet cable, the Raspberry Pi boots up powered and connected, with no other wiring.

In a nutshell

The Waveshare PoE+ HAT radically simplifies deploying a Raspberry Pi 5 in a place that is hard to reach electrically. One Ethernet cable, a stable power supply up to 5A, full compatibility with the official case, and your project is ready, with no power adapter or extension lead to deal with.
