Waveshare PCIe To M.2 Adapter with PoE for Raspberry Pi 5

Description

The Waveshare PCIe To M.2 Adapter With PoE Function (B) is a purpose-built expansion solution for the Raspberry Pi 5, significantly enhancing its capabilities. It allows the integration of NVMe protocol M.2 solid-state drives, unlocking high-speed data reading and writing performance crucial for data-intensive applications, operating system installations, and rapid file access.

Beyond storage, this adapter incorporates Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality, adhering to IEEE 802.3af/at network standards. This feature enables the Raspberry Pi 5 to receive both power and data through a single Ethernet cable, simplifying deployment in remote locations or setups where power outlets are scarce. The adapter supports a broad PoE power input range of 37V to 57V DC and provides regulated 5V 4.5A via GPIO and 12V 2A outputs to meet the needs of the Pi 5 and connected peripherals.
