This is an 802.3af compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) HAT for the Raspberry Pi, featuring a built-in fan and a 0.91" OLED display for monitoring temperature, IP address, fan status or anything else you want to show!
The HAT's cooling fan allows auto running on boot or programmable control, configured by the switch to automatically turn on/off depending on the Raspberry Pi's processor temperature.
By using this small HAT and some proper 802.3af-compliant power sourcing equipment, it is possible to provide both network connection and power supply for your Raspberry Pi with a single Ethernet cable.
Compatability
This product will only work with the Raspberry Pi 3B+ or Pi 4. Not compatible with Raspberry Pi 5.
