Combine high-speed NVMe storage with Power over Ethernet in a single HAT for your Raspberry Pi 5. This adapter lets you power your Pi and connect to the network through one Ethernet cable while adding fast SSD storage—ideal for remote deployments, servers, and compact installations.

The PoE M.2 HAT+ (C) connects via the Pi 5's PCIe interface and includes a cooling fan and heatsink for reliable operation under load. The stackable GPIO header allows additional HATs to be used simultaneously.

Key Features

• Power over Ethernet – IEEE 802.3af/at compliant, 37-57V DC input, delivers up to 5V 5A via GPIO
• NVMe M.2 SSD Support – Compatible with 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 NVMe drives
• Boot from SSD – Dramatically faster boot times and file operations compared to SD cards
• Stackable Design – 40-pin GPIO header allows additional HATs
• Active Cooling – Includes cooling fan and heatsink for thermal management
• LED Indicators – Dual onboard LEDs show operational status
• Compact Size – 56.5 × 66.0mm footprint
