Raspberry Pi PoE HAT
The official Raspberry Pi PoE (Power over Ethernet) HAT lets you power your Raspberry Pi directly through an Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for a separate power supply. It requires a network with 802.3af-compliant power-sourcing equipment.
The HAT includes a small cooling fan controlled via I2C that automatically activates based on the processor temperature. No modifications to the Raspberry Pi board are needed — just ensure your Pi's software is up to date for full functionality.
