DFRobot LattePanda IOTA 51W PoE Expansion Board

DFRobot LattePanda IOTA 51W PoE Expansion Board is a powerful accessory tailored for the LattePanda IOTA single-board computer, enabling power delivery and high-speed networking through a single Ethernet cable. Compliant with IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++) standards, this DFRobot expansion board supplies up to 51W of power (enough to run the LattePanda IOTA and additional peripherals like cameras, sensors, or small actuators) while maintaining Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Featuring a PCIe 3.0 x1 FPC connection to the host board, the expansion card simplifies deployment by eliminating off-board power adapters and reducing cable clutter, ideal for compact or remote installations in industrial automation, edge computing, or smart surveillance. 

The PoE expansion board includes a 12VDC output terminal block and a 4-pin power connector to directly power external devices from the same PoE supply. Users must power the LattePand IOTA through the expansion board’s Ethernet port (with IEEE 802.3bt-compatible switches or routers) to prevent power insufficiency, and should note that minor heating of the onboard inductor during normal operation is expected and harmless. Measuring 88mm x 70mm, the board includes all necessary cables, standoffs, screws, and a user manual, offering a streamlined, all-in-one solution for projects that require robust power and networking in a single-cable setup.
