FAQ
Q1:Can USB devices be connected to the USB interface on the POE HAT?
A: No, the USB interface on the POE HAT can only output power and has no USB function.
Q2: What is the part number of the matching connector for the 12V plug on the PoE HAT C? Do you sell a cable suitable for connecting to a nearby product?
A: It's 2.54mm Dupont wire.
