Waveshare PCIe to M.2 NVMe Adapter with PoE (C) for Pi 5

Description

The Waveshare PCIe To M.2 Adapter with PoE HAT (C) is engineered exclusively for the Raspberry Pi 5, significantly enhancing its capabilities. This versatile expansion board integrates high-speed NVMe solid-state drive support with robust Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality, streamlining both data and power delivery. It allows users to leverage fast M.2 NVMe storage for demanding applications while eliminating the need for separate power supplies, powering the Pi and attached SSD over a single Ethernet connection.

Complying with IEEE 802.3af/at PoE standards, the adapter accepts a 37V to 57V DC PoE input and provides a stable 5V 5A maximum output to the Raspberry Pi 5 via its GPIO header. This integration is ideal for creating compact, cable-managed systems such as NAS devices, AI edge computing units, or industrial embedded systems. Its compact 56.5 × 66.0 mm form factor ensures efficient use of space, making it a powerful and neat solution for various projects.
