The PoE HAT (G) is an IEEE 802.3af/at-compliant PoE (Power Over Ethernet) HAT for Raspberry Pi 5. By using with a PoE router or switch that supports the IEEE 802.3af/at network standard, it is possible to provide both network connection and power supply for your Raspberry Pi in only one Ethernet cable.
I’m looking at the Power Over Ethernet HAT (G) For Raspberry Pi 5 to be used with the active cooler which I already have. I see it needs some kind of riser from the product image, what size/model/etc riser would work ?
Hi there @Daniel98768 welcome to the forum, glad to have you here.
For the Raspberry Pi 5 any M2.5 Stand-Off should fit the holes in the PCB, the main concern is their height.
In this case, however, the HAT comes with three different varieties of stand-offs, and extra long headers, so that it can accomodate the Active Cooler.
Setting the Pi 5 shutdown current to minimum with this device, causes the Pi 5 to reboot. Leaving the Pi on high current shutdown, it will stay shutdown.
I’m looking at the same PoE HAT (WS-27670) and I want to get the active cooler for it as well (CE09791). I also currently run the NVME base (PIM699), are there any considerations here I need to make, or will this be pretty much plug and play?
I used longer header plugs so the POE would fit over the active cooler.
There were no cases that would fit so I 3D printed one from a pattern on Thingyverse. The pattern needed modification.
When shutting down the Pi it would start back up in a few seconds, pretty annoying. I fixed it by removing the setting that reduces the Pi power in shutdown mode.
POWER_OFF_ON_HALT=0 Default setting.
The ribbon cable covers part of the SD slot, only a small problem when setting up the NVNe card to boot. You need to have the Pi boot from an SD card to setup the NVMe card.
As James mentioned, it’s pretty much plug‑and‑play, but you’ll want to watch the clearance between the PoE HAT and the active cooler. To help with that, we stock a range of stackable headers here:
