SPIDER Automation Official Raspberry Pi PoE+ HAT | HAT Board | For Raspberry Pi 4B/3B+ Power over Ethernet & Thermal Management
Description
SPIDER Automation Official Raspberry Pi PoE+ HAT is an advanced add-on board designed to streamline power delivery and thermal regulation for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B and 3 Model B+ computers. By leveraging standard Ethernet cabling connected to a PoE-capable network switch, this HAT supplies dependable operating power straight to your board without cluttering your workspace with separate power adapters.
Complying with the IEEE 802.3at-2003 Class 4 specification, the PoE+ HAT steps down an input voltage of 37–57V DC to deliver a robust 5V DC output at up to 4 Amps. Featuring a fully isolated switched-mode power supply for superior safety and an integrated temperature-controlled brushless cooling fan, it maintains optimal operating temperatures during intensive computing tasks.
Key Features
- IEEE 802.3at-2003 Standard: Class 4 Power over Ethernet compliance for dependable remote power delivery.
- High-Capacity Power Output: Upgraded design supplying 5V DC at up to 4 Amps to handle demanding USB peripherals.
- Wide Input Voltage Range: Accepts 37–57V DC input from network switches and power injectors.
- Fully Isolated Power Supply: Switched-mode circuit providing complete electrical isolation for enhanced equipment protection.
- Integrated Cooling Fan: Built-in 25mm × 25mm brushless fan pushing 2.2 CFM for effective processor temperature control.
- Smart Fan Management: Automated thermal control script adjusting fan speed based on processor heat levels.
