PoE HAT for Raspberry Pi 4B not working on some POE-sources

Products & Technology Raspberry Pi
#1

Hi,

i have bought the Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE) HAT for Raspberry Pi 4B/3B+ to power a Pi 4B.
The following POE Sources dosen’t work:

  • Cisco Meraki Enterprise MS320FP - no reaction
  • EdiMax PRO GP-101IT - short flash on the HAT

A cheap Cisco unmanaged 8 Port Swich works.

I have tested the original Raspberry POE HAT, some DSLR-KIT POE HATs and all are working with all my POE Sources.

Any Ideas ? The Seeed HAT ist the best Solution for me, bigger Fan, small height and the GPIOs not blocked.

Hi @kalleknall
At present, there are two different versions of Raspberry pi POE, some of the new version POE hat can’t power on Because the copper pillars affect the power supply, the copper pillars inside need to be replaced with nylon. If this is the case, please contact [email protected] to resend the nylon column to you.

Hi, same here with the “new version”. RPi 4B doesn’t power on with a PoE compliant TP-link Ethernet switch (TL-SF1005P). RPi is OK when powered from USB-C and the switch is working fine (other PoE equipments are correctly powered when plugged on the same RJ45 port)
