The PoE HAT (B) is an 802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet accessory for Raspberry Pi 3B+ and 4B. Provide both network connection and power supply through a single Ethernet cable – no separate power adapter needed when used with compatible PoE switches or injectors.

This HAT includes a 0.91" OLED display for real-time monitoring of processor temperature, IP address, and fan status. The onboard cooling fan can run automatically on power-up or be controlled programmatically via the included PCF8574 I/O expander.
