A compact Power over Ethernet (PoE) module that extracts power from the Ethernet cable's centre taps and outputs a regulated 5 V at up to 1.5 A. Connect the four input wires to the PoE pins on your Ethernet-capable board and get clean DC power on the other side — no separate power cable needed.
This module is well suited to the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, which exposes the PoE centre-tap pins on a header. Connect with female-to-female jumper wires, then route the 5 V output back to the Pi's power pins. At 1.5 A, it comfortably powers a Pi 3B+ for most use cases (typical draw is ~0.7 A without USB accessories).
Key Features

- Output Current – Up to 1.5 A
- Isolation – Non-isolated
- Input – PoE centre-tap wires (4 wires)
Ideal For
- Raspberry Pi deployments powered over Ethernet
- Remote IoT devices and sensors
- Network-powered embedded systems
- Reducing cable clutter in installations
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- DC
- DC means direct current, where electricity flows in one constant direction, as supplied by batteries, USB ports and many plug-pack power supplies. When a product specifies DC, it runs from a DC supply rather than mains AC, so you need to provide the correct voltage and polarity.
- IoT
- Short for Internet of Things, meaning physical devices that connect to networks or the internet to send data or be controlled remotely. It matters if you want projects such as connected sensors, remote controls or classroom data-logging activities.
- PoE
- Power over Ethernet lets one Ethernet cable carry both network data and electrical power. This is useful when installing a device where running a separate power adaptor would be difficult.
