Raspberry Pi’s brisk pace of new hardware and software the past few months continues today… The Raspberry Pi PoE+ Injector was announced today at the $25 USD price point.
Since the Raspberry Pi 3B+ there has been support for Power over Ethernet. With today’s Raspberry Pi PoE+ Injector release there is now an official way from the Raspberry Pi crew for adding PoE support to your existing network.
The Raspberry Pi PoE+ Injector was developed by Microchip and allows for serving as a midspan injector for adding Power over Ethernet while continuing to allow for bi-directional network traffic flow. The Raspberry Pi product supports IEEE 802.3af for 13 Watts and IEEE 802.11at PoE+ at 25 Watts as a nice alternative for those lacking a PoE switch.
