KEHIPI PoE HAT (F) development board Raspberry Pi 5 40-pin 802.3af/at

Power Over Ethernet HAT

The KEHIPI PoE HAT (F) is a development board that adds IEEE 802.3af/at Power over Ethernet to a Raspberry Pi 5. It uses the standard 40-pin GPIO header to deliver both data and power through a single Ethernet cable when connected to compliant power sourcing equipment. The board includes a fully isolated switched-mode power supply and an onboard active cooling fan with a metal heatsink for thermal management.

Suitable for Pi 5 network projects

This HAT suits makers and engineers deploying a Raspberry Pi 5 in locations without convenient mains outlets, such as remote sensors, camera nodes or industrial controllers. It requires a network switch or injector that supports the 802.3af/at standard. Builders using older Raspberry Pi models or boards without the 40-pin header cannot use this accessory, and anyone without PoE infrastructure will gain no benefit.

802.3af/at compliance decides fit

The single specification that determines suitability is IEEE 802.3af/at compliance on the power sourcing side. If the available switch or injector does not meet this standard, the HAT cannot power the Raspberry Pi 5. No other voltage or wattage rating is provided, so verifying the network equipment specification is essential before purchase.
