Waveshare PoE HAT (F) Compatibele with Raspberry Pi 5, High Power, Onboard Cooling Fan, with Metal Heatsink, Supports 802.3af/at Network Standard

great delivery service

Like many I bought a Pi 5 and needed it to be powered by PoE. I was a bit disappointed to find that there wasn't an official PoE hat that would fit so I purchased this. I've got to say I'm really impressed! the hat feels really well made, and it's great that it incorporates a 12v rail as well as 5v. I like that it includes a heatsink that fits underneath as I'll be using it in a confined space where ventilation will be limited, and I'm particularly pleased that it is supplied with proper thermal pads rather than the cheap double sided tape stuff that some other passive cooling products use. I've recommended to a friend.

The product is good and works well, I picked up one to see if it would fit into my pi cluster however due to the GPIO pins having a extension on it’s meant that if I want to fit all the PI’s to fit into the cluster I can have a max of 4 in a case that can fit 8. But apart from that it is a good product

Outstanding product. Set up was easy. applied the heat-sync and the Pi5 sprung to life! Would highly recommend to Pi enthusiasts

It works, it provides PoE power to the RPi5. However, after only a few days, the fan became noisy. It's a shame the fan isn't speed-controlled, so it always runs. In the end I switched to using an external PoE power splitter, as it's silent.

Works as intended, however, be warned, the fan is always on max speed as it is wired to 5V supply (two-sided fan, no PWM-control) and is loud. I feel this is a little lazy of the designers, as even the official Pi 4 PoE hat has fan speed control...
