Two Ways to Power a Raspberry Pi Using PoE (Power over Ethernet)

Following on from my Power over Ethernet (PoE) video, I promised a video about how to power a Raspberry Pi via PoE. Well here it is!

Another great reason to do this is to add the ability to remotely reboot a non-responsive pi by cutting the POE from the switch and turning back on

If you plan to power external drives via USB you really need the PoE+ version of the hat. Otherwise "be careful loading up those usb ports" as Gary explained.

Very nice and well presented! Great video!

Why on earth would they design this to cover the GPIO pins? it's the most non-sensical design decision I have seen in a long time.

[talesmaschio]

That’s also useful when you need to power cycle a Pi which is installed in a very inaccessible place or from a remote location.

[Lexitivium]

When can we expect to see a video about Power over Wi-Fi? That would really make my life easier ;-)

One thing to note is those external PoE adaptors do NOT support gigabit Ethernet. Probably not an issue for what most people use Pi for.

Your comments about not being able to use the GPIO pins with a HAT, makes me wornder why no one has ever come up with an intermediate board so you can use the GPIO pins and any HAT.
Thanks for the explanation

I really hope the next Pi has PoE support as standard.

[TheJamice]

Ahh, I didn't know POE splitters existed! Just what I need to power up my Pi3b cluster!

[shanearnold]

Great video and impressed to the simplicity on how you descibe the install. Will this fit in the normal Pi case/housing and perform okay with the fan or will it restrict airflow and require a new vented case/housing?

[redsquirrelftw]

Does the hat and splitter handle dropping 48v down to 5v or do you need to use a 5v injector instead of a standard poe switch (48v)?

[alexxx]

Comparing solution costs also would have been nice.

My the new Raspberry Pi PoE+ HAT use for DVR Security Surveillance to control the PTZ Cameras, But I would like to use the ADSL or NBN Broadband Router to Power Over Ethernet by using the
TP-Link Powerline Wi-Fi Kit Extend Wi-Fi to Every Room by plugging in the RJ45 Blue or Yellow Network Cable, without using USB C to Power the Raspberry Pi 4 Modal B. So would I need to purchase the 5 to 12 Volt Passive Power Over Ethernet Adapter POE Cable Splitter Injector from eBay.

i am trying to work with my raspberry pi 4 but its green led is not flashing, only red led is working, and nothing displaying on monitor .can you pls help me, is these bcz of supply issue, i have given power supply from the usb port of my monitor

[BigRonRN]

If using the PoE+ HAT, is there enough space between the boards to insert a ribbon cable to the camera ribbon connector on the main Pi board?

[sachinfilinto]

is there any good raspberry pi case which can be used with this POE HAT ?

[crazycool]

Hi Gary, I liked the video. But could you add a link for power sourcing the POE, e.g. POE injector, to connect the POE hat or POE splitter?

Hi! Im using a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B+, do I need the hat to use the ethernet POE feature?
