- salzig 4y agothere is a PoE-Hat addon available, at least. edit: just realized that you meant other projects.
- krkoch 4y agoPoE devices needs an isolation transformer in order to be compliant, and it takes quite some real estate. However, so does 110V/220V, but i guess we're so used to "hiding" it in a wall-wart.
- InitialLastName 4y agoSomething like [0] would basically cover your PoE adapter needs for this, right? Remember that these SBC's also don't directly cover using 120V AC mains power as an option; they rely on a wall wart for that. The trade-off to the gain in mechanical flexibility of having a very small size is that you have to put the big (in miniature electronics terms) inductors elsewhere.

- fmajid 4y agoYeah, I have PoE to USB-C splitters like this one: https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07TJ3ZNJ4/ https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07TJ3ZNJ4/ I used it to power a phone used as 5G backup to my Internet connection, combined with this Ethernet to USB-C with power passthrough adapter: https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B086SV2FK4/ https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B086SV2FK4/ Works, but way clunkier than a built-in solution.
