The Pi 5 POE-PD-A module is an advanced expansion board designed to provide '''Power Over Ethernet (POE)''' capabilities to the Raspberry Pi 5. Compliant with '''IEEE 802.3af/at standards''', this module integrates Power Delivery (PD) protocol management, ensuring a reliable and high-current power supply.
* '''Integrated PD Protocol IC''': Manages power negotiation to avoid startup warnings and ensure stable operation.
* '''Type-C Power Supply''': Offers a robust 5V 4.5A output from a high-voltage 37V~57V input, accommodating higher power demands.
* '''Plug and play''': No additional configuration is required, just plug in the USB-C and POE network port and you can use it
* '''Non-Interference with GPIO''': Maintains free use of the Raspberry Pi 40-pin GPIO header for additional peripherals.
* '''Cooling Solution Compatibility''': Supports the installation of the official Raspberry Pi Active Cooler as well as third-party Active Cooler for enhanced thermal management.
