23W Poe HAT usuable for Rock Pi E

#1

The 13W PoE HAT is not available yet. Therefore, I consider using the 23W PoE HAT for the Rock Pi E. Some components obstruct plugging in the connector:

  • USB connector vs. ventilator
  • ethernet jacks vs. transformer
    But I could enlarge the distance through the use of a 2 x 20 pins stack header for the electrical connection and spacer for the construction. What do you think? Will that work?

No, that won’t work; the connection with the ethernet jacket for the input power is made at the opposite side of the PCB, where with the PoE HAT those are near each other. But I think, the use of any other 802.af compliant PoE HAT that delivers 2,5 A @ 5V will work, when it is connected properly with 4 wires to the connector next to the ethernet jack and 2 wires on the 2 x 20 pins connector for the power output.
