Raspberry Pi PoE+ HAT
Les Pounder thought the PoE+ HAT was new headwear inspired by the dashing Star Wars hero Poe Dameron. Unfortunately, it is not.
IN BRIEF
The Raspberry Pi PoE+ HAT is an update on the 2018 model, which fixes the annoying fan noise and coil whine but has its own issues that need to be resolved. It has an improved power output that’s enough to power even the hungry Raspberry Pi 4.
M arch 2018 saw the release of the Raspberry Pi 3B+, which featured new PoE header pins. It wasn’t until August of that year that we saw the PoE HAT go on general sale. PoE is Power over Ethernet and it provides a one-cable solution for powering your Pi and connecting to a network.
