I don't know about this board, but there's an official kit for doing that on the Raspberry Pi: https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/poe-hat/ https://www.raspbe

Don't seem to be able to buy it, it blocks being able to actively cool the cpu and no idea on fit with 3rd party cases, but it looks small enough that it wouldn't be an issue with many. I kind of wish they'd have a new release with a form factor for those wanting to play with a pi cluster, all the i/o on one side, and PoE on board.

  Why can't you actively cool the CPU? It has its own fan.

    because the board covers the pi board underneath?

      Plenty of room for the air to escape from the sides though.

  Don't know much about it but wouldn't that be something more in line with the pi compute module? I know there are boards that take 4 compute modules for instance. They might be better to stack as well.

Official board is horribly noisy when the fan is running. Basically the fan's too small (despite their being room for a much larger one) I'm hoping for a POE board for the new compute module - I want ethernet (w POE), USB and storage in a small package, something the size of original Ubiquiti Cloudkeys would be ideal. Gumstix have a POE board for the CM4 but it comes with a Coral chip also but it's out of the price range for what I need - https://www.gumstix.com/manufacturer/raspberry-pi/cm4-poe-smart-camera.html https://www.gumstix.com/manufacturer/raspberry-pi/cm4-poe-sm...

Having got one of these and a PoE -> ethernet + microusb power splitter for my 2 pis, I have to say I've been much happier with the splitter than the hat - the hat uses space that could be used to install other things and has quite an annoyingly noisy fan.
