It delivers a stable 5V/2.5A output with 3KV galvanic isolation for enhanced electrical safety, supporting IEEE 802.3af/at standards. Ideal for powering multiple Pis via a single PoE switch, it requires active cooling for optimal performance and is backward compatible, making it a versatile and reliable solution for scalable Pi deployments. ## Description Input: IEEE 802.3af Compliant PoE or DC 48V PoE with up to 3KV IsolationOutput: 5V +-5% up to 2.5A*Protection Circuitry: Transient Overvoltage, Undervoltage Lockout, Thermal Shutdown, Foldback Current Limiting* Active airflow and adequate cooling required for stable continuous operation at high load. Install PoE HAT onto the 40-pin GPIO header. Attach black wire from fan to GND pin on PoE HAT. Attach red wire from fan to 5V (performance) or 3.3V (quiet) pin on PoE HAT. Insert MicroSD card with properly flashed OS. Attach Ethernet cable from the PSE. Review: Great PoE Hat for RPi 3B+ - These things are great. They do exactly what they say they do with no fuss. I got a few of these for running a few RPi 3B+ outside in a remote enclosure. They fit nicely on the 3B+, nicer than the official HATs. Cheaper too, good value there. They don't interfere with the RPi mounting holes, so they aren't really a HAT, per-se, but more a module. They do prevent using other HATs, which is kind of expected, but for my use case wasn't a big deal. Power came from my Cisco switch, everything worked great together. Very versatile. I would strongly recommend using a fan on the RPi to keep everything cool. I used these with the "MakerFocus Raspberry Pi Case with Fan, Raspberry Pi 3B+ Aluminum Alloy Case with Heatsink and Screw Driver for RPi 3B+, RPi 3/2, RPi B" metal case. That case included a fan, which I was able to connect to the pin headers on this HAT easily. Review: Best PoE solution I've used on a RasPi - A couple of things I'd like to mention before going into my opinions of this PoE hat: I've used PoE hats as well as PoE-to-micro-USB power adapters for the past four or five years to power various RasPis. PoE is something I've worked with since about 2003 or so in a wide variety of implementations and environments, so I feel that I have a reasonably decent grip on the subject. With that out of the way: This is hands-down the best PoE hat I've bought for the RasPi. That's not a knock on ones I've used previously by any means - but this one really is just that good at what it does. Granted, at this time it can only be used with the 3B+ and 4B - but that's OK. It means that these units are likely to have a decent usable lifespan, so the cost of the hardware should be able to be spread out over a decently-long period. Get the electrically-isolated version. Even if you're powering this from a switch or PoE injector that's hanging off of a UPS, there's no telling what could happen if either of those upstream devices fail. For the extra $5, it's cheap insurance against frying your RasPi. Once attached to the RasPi, the hat is extremely low-profile. However, there are components on it that stick up (slightly) above the height of the RasPi's Ethernet and USB ports. It does impact airflow and heat escape from the RasPi mainboard, so a fan (sold separately) is pretty much mandatory if you're going to use it with a RasPi that sits in a case or enclosure, and is recommended just for the sake of being safe. It does use the +5V and GND GPIO pins typically used to power a fan. However, there is a separate 8-pin connector on the PoE hat that makes these available. One big advantage to this approach: the 8-pin connector is parallel to the RasPi's mainboard, so fan power connectors can be attached to it without taking up any additional vertical space. One thing to be aware of: the hat only accepts 802.3af or 802.3at PoE input. If your switch, injector, etc. only supports passive PoE, this hat is not what you want to buy. Overall, I'm very impressed: this is an adapter that has been well thought-out and Just Works. Highly recommended (again, get the isolated version!) if your hardware supports it. ## Features - ULTIMATE POWER OVER ETHERNET HAT FOR RASPBERRY PI 4: Deliver clean and reliable power to the latest Pi 4! Power-over-Ethernet is both simple, power efficient, and cost effective compared to having multiple power adapters. PoE power output must be within the budget of the switch when powering multiple boards. PoE switch and Raspberry Pi 4 Model B sold separately. - GALVANICALLY ISOLATED POWER OVER ETHERNET UP TO 3KV: Designed for IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3at, and Passive DC 48V network switches and power sourcing equipment (PSE). The professional model features galvanic isolation for applications with non-IEEE 802.3 compliant switches and power injectors that do not provide PSE side isolation. - BUILT FOR CLUSTER NODES: Simplify cable management and expand your on-premise cloud with POE! Power five, ten, twenty Raspberry Pi 4 Model B boards through a single POE switch. This PoE HAT was designed to exceed the power delivery standards set by the official Raspberry Pi PoE HAT and other products available on the market. - VENTILATED CASE WITH COOLING FAN HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Do not use this product in an enclosed case without active air circulation. Airflow around the HAT and Raspberry Pi 4 Model B must be adequate to ensure performance and stable operation. - BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE: Supports the latest Raspberry Pi 4 as well as the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07XB5PR9J | | Amperage | 2.5 Amps | | Best Sellers Rank | #142,121 in Computers ( See Top 100 in Computers ) #2,327 in Single-Board Computers | | Brand | LoveRPi | | Color | Isolated (3KV) | | Colour | Isolated (3KV) | | Connector Type Used on Cable | Ethernet | | Connector type | Ethernet | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 218 Reviews | | Form Factor | HAT | | Form factor | HAT | | Input Voltage | 48 Volts (DC) | | Input voltage | 48 Volts (DC) | | Manufacturer | LoveRPi | | Maximum Power | 12.5 Watts | | Mfr Part Number | LRP-RPIHAT-POE-RPI4 | | Model Number | LRP-RPIHAT-POE-RPI4 | | Output Current | 2.5 Amps | | Output Wattage | 12.5 Watts | | UPC | 647923366624 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Amperage:** 2.5 Amps - **Brand:** LoveRPi - **Color:** Isolated (3KV) - **Connector Type:** Ethernet - **Input Voltage:** 48 Volts (DC) ## Images ![Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE) HAT for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B and Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ Professional red LRP-RPIHAT-POE-RPI4 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81yMa74O32L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great PoE Hat for RPi 3B+ *by S***R on 19 February 2026* These things are great.

It sits below a large PoE switch. Each pi has this hat and none have failed so far. Plus it cuts down the added wiring necessary to plug them into some power strip buried in the back. ## Frequently Bought Together - LoveRPi Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE) HAT for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B and Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ (Professional, Isolated (3KV)) - Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 2019 Quad Core 64 Bit WiFi Bluetooth (4GB) - iUniker Raspberry Pi 4 Fan ABS Case with Cooling Fan, Heatsink, Simple Removable Top Cover for Pi 4 Model B/ 4B --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/282884906-power-over-ethernet-poe-hat-for-raspberry-pi-4-model](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/282884906-power-over-ethernet-poe-hat-for-raspberry-pi-4-model) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-09-03*
