RAKwireless RAK9003 – PoE HAT for Raspberry Pi 3B+/4 with Power over Ethernet

The RAK9003 PoE HAT from RAKwireless is a Raspberry Pi add-on board designed to provide Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality for Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ and Raspberry Pi 4. It allows both power and data transmission through a single Ethernet cable (CAT5 or higher), simplifying installations in IoT, industrial, and network gateway applications. The module connects directly to the 40-pin GPIO header, making it ideal for LoRaWAN® gateways and other remote deployments requiring reliable power delivery and reduced cabling.

Key Features:

• Raspberry Pi HAT format with 40-pin GPIO connector – easy plug & play installation.
• Supports IEEE 802.3af/at PoE standard (Mode A and Mode B) – up to 25 W power output (Class 0–4).
• Wide input voltage range: 42 V – 57 V DC.
• Output power: 5 V DC at up to 5 A.
• High efficiency (~83% at 48 V input and 5 V/5 A load) with 1.5 kV isolation between input and output.
• Operating temperature range: –40 °C to +85 °C – suitable for industrial environments.

Applications:

• Building LoRaWAN® gateways or Helium hotspots powered through Ethernet using Raspberry Pi 3B+ or Raspberry Pi 4.
• IoT, Smart City, and educational projects where power and network connectivity are provided via a single cable.
• Deployments in remote or constrained spaces where PoE simplifies installation and improves reliability.

Package Includes:

• 1 × RAK9003 PoE HAT
• 1 × 40-pin GPIO connector compatible with Raspberry Pi

The RAK9003 PoE HAT offers a professional and efficient solution for powering Raspberry Pi systems over Ethernet. It enhances reliability and simplifies installation in industrial, IoT, and LoRaWAN® gateway applications.
