The new PoE+ HAT has some issues, like using almost twice as much power for its own operation as the original PoE HAT. It does supply more power to the Raspberry Pi, but at least for the Pi 3 model B+ and 4 model B, does that even matter?

And BTW: it very much is surely back feeding 60v out the Ethernet interface but since 802.3u specifies common mode rejection requirements higher than this, it shouldn’t damage any upstream components. But still: it seems more a first-timer JLPCB tinkerer design than an official corporate offering. So bad…

@asdrubale bisanzio -- No, the primary becomes a magnet. Calling the ferrite core a "magnet" is like calling the "keeper" placed across the old "horseshoe magnet" a "magnet" since it _conducts_ magnetism. Essentially, calling a magnetic conductor a magnet is like calling the copper wiring in your wall a "generator" or calling the battery cable in your radio (remember radios?) a "battery" since it _conducts_ power from the battery. Or, like calling the subway train "my job" because it takes you to work. N.B.: This does not apply if you happen to be the motorman!

@AndrewGillard
@AndrewGillard 2 роки тому
With PoE using a high enough voltage on the cable, things like voltage drop and associated power dissipation can be minimised, so it comes down to the efficiency of the voltage conversion circuit of the power sink/client device. I could see it being theoretically plausible for a PoE switch's bigger, maybe-higher-quality AC-to-DC adapter to have sufficiently improved efficiency compared to the tiny, as-cheap-as-possible power bricks supplied with random consumer devices, that it works out _more_ efficient to use PoE. However I've not run the numbers, nor experimented with it myself, so this is just an idea :)

I'm pleased you managed to get an email response from the Pi Team, not something I managed to get, accept an acknowledgement that I was going to post the articles I have, The claim that powering a Pi from USB-C with the PoE+ HAT installed is an unsupported use case, sounds a lot like them just finding an excuse for the design issue. I like you just wish they'd engage with the community more to help iron out these issues prior to release, they must know they have a large number of willing supporters.

Hey Jeff, your PoE+ fan was pretty quiet. I just fitted mine last weekend which sits in an open case. But what I was not expecting was the mosquito sound every 20 seconds then quiet 10-15 seconds and then another 20 seconds of a swarm of mosquitoes - continuously all night long. In the daytime I didn't really notice it but this little chap sits behind a monitor in the bedroom and during the night OMG no sleep that night at all ... So the next day that hat had to be removed :-( Also another gotcha was at the moment there does not seem to be any passthrough GPIO headers for the POE+ hat unlike the old PoE HAT. Due to the POE header is not passthrough. I think all you can do at the moment is to get old POE Long Headers and hack the 4 POE ones down to fit. Btw another great video :-)

The idle power consumption is probably due to the planar transformer used. I've seen the idle current double when switching from traditional transformers to those, which would match the findings here. I love planar transformers, but the idle power consumption is a drawback.

Great video, I use a lot of Poe at home, Cisco phones and cctv cameras and back in January I migrated a bunch of services to 4 pi4s and a pi2 this includes homebridge, asterisk and 2 piholes. On my enterprise switch under normal load they pull about 2.2 watts each but when backing up they get closer 5 watts, I don’t have anything plugged in to them except network and the micro sd card. (I don’t need disk performance) since then I have carefully modified the setup using the sd card to boot then creating a mix of sd card ,RAM disk and nfs mounts means backup aren’t needed. The interesting thing is using my Hopi power monitor between the mains and the switch if I keep the Poe power draw for the 4 pi’s under 14w the Poe switch does not seem to draw any more power from the mains compared to no Poe being used. Effectively getting power for free.

Being able to easily cut a screw to length with a simple hand tool is pretty neat 👍 Although even M3 screws require a concerning amount of force to cut with that tool, so I'm not sure I'd like to try cutting M5 screws/bolts with it! 😐 And it doesn't ruin the screw threads, as most tools would! Engineer tools are definitely not a super budget option in this age of Chinese mass-produced tools (and which are often perfectly adequate for the job), but they're not unreasonably expensive either, especially since all of my Engineer tools are high quality :)

Also, if it is more a throughput issue regards the Pi usb, then surely this isn’t a problem regards the hat but with the USB ports, and if the hard drives are drawing the right amount then it still would be better than the PoE hat which would be incapable of generating enough wattage even if the hat drives were matched to the usb throughput. 🤷‍♂️ I’m a bit of a newb so please correct me if I am wrong I some way.

@alexscarbro796 2 роки тому
Some switch mode isolated DC-DC converters require a minimum load current to maintain regulation stability. This is usually the case with low cost regulators that don’t have an opto-isolated (analogue) feedback and instead they monitor the current through the primary winding during switching to estimate the output voltage.
@alexscarbro796
@alexscarbro796 2 роки тому
That minimum load current could easily be 200mA, so at 5V that’d be 1W. One way to guarantee the minimum load is to place a resistor in series with a zener diode. As the unregulated voltage rises above the zener voltage, it starts to conduct with the resistor becoming a shunt load. This is more efficient than just strapping a load resistor across the regulator output since it only conducts when the voltage drifts too high rather than all the time (which would hurt the efficiency figures under normal loads).
@johndododoe1411
@johndododoe1411 2 роки тому
@@alexscarbro796 If voltage rise is the issue, a zener load that only draws current above 5.2V might (or might not) stabilize the smps. A more complex solution would use a current sensor to reduce or disable the dummy load as actual current draw approaches the minimum. Anyway a well designed PoE+ circuit should have enough complexity to avoid having a minimum load or wasteful own load.

I have a WaveShare PoE Hat for my Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB RAM model and I find it much better. The WaveShare PoE Hat has a better placement for the fan where it does have a slot to feed through the cable for the camera and also a slot to feed through the cable for display(for screens), It also has a switch to turn on or off the fan, it also has a pass through GPIO where you plug the PoE Hat as normal but at the top of the hat it has GPIO pins on top to connect more things to it. Lastly it also has a USB port on it as well to plug something into it. I also have an extension board for my Pi as well which connects to the audio jack, the 2 micro HDMI ports, and the USB-C port and when it is connected, it gives your Pi the audio jack and USB-C as usual, and you can now use regular HDMI cables to the Pi instead of using the micros and you also get an extra USB port too. I recommend those. If you want I wouldn't mind you reviewing the 2 I mentioned just to get your opinion on it.

Good Monring Jeff, did you notice a coil whine with the PoE+ modules under normal load? I bought 2 of the older PoE modules and both have a clearly audible coil whine (even without USB devices attached). The PIs were running in the utility room. So it wouldn't bother me, but since the cat likes to lie on the dryer, I decided against it and now I'm forced to use non-official modules. For the purpose of cooling I had to tinker and unfortunately they are too high for 1 rack unit. Therefore it would be nice to know whether the new PoE+ modules are worth buying. Even if they would consume more power. I never checked the power consumption of the cheap no-name module I'm currently using. Greetings Chris

What are the alternatives? Are there any 3rd party PoE+ hats worth checking out?

The USB Port can Supplemente 1,2A max. Okay what about the power pins at the GPIO Bar? How much current can they handle?

@11:46 That sound is the sound of the magnetics (flat plane transformer, most likely) either saturating or starting and stopping. For the hey of it, use a pencil eraser to press down on the transformer's core. That should at least attenuate the sound if not actually extenguish the sound.

My Pi4 (4GB) with RaspiOS Lite, pi-hole, 256GB Intel SATA SSD with the second PoE hat revision (without the mezzanine board) only draws 5.05W, 94.60mA, 53.46V My PoE switch is the EdgeSwitch ES-8-150W PoE+ switch. Thanks for the warning, I was planing on getting the new PoE hat but now I will wait!

Maybe best to grab some of the original (fixed) PoE HATs in case they stop making them and leave us all with just the new PoE+ HAT

Any updates on this? My goal is to power my pi4 running home assistant with PoE+ maybe with Zigbee USB adapter. Dont know how much power it draws though. Would be nice to not use the power adapter and just keep it clean with my network rack. Its so nice to power up things with PoE+ There might be some better third party fans to replace the Sunon with. Sunon was commonly used in server applications running loud. I think Pi5 are in the making as ive heard. I like your rack setup with all the pis. Mounting solution looks homemade with 3d printer hehe. But i think there are rack mounts in metal for a more clean look. Might implement some low rpm fans as well for cooling

Can POE+ handle 10GB ethernet power draw for the next Raspberry Pi model maybe...or usb C with more power to peripherals

When I first saw the PoE hat I thought the price was too good to be true, and it was lol. It has terrible coil whine when the Pi is off and the threaded spacers it came with weren't long enough so it's really easy to overtighten the board and cause pretty bad flexing but if it's too loose it won't turn on because of the tiny socket header they used

Hi Jeff! Can you recommend a router, switch, wireless access point combo all in one thing under 50 USD, because I am changing ISPs soon, and want to redesign my home network setup on a dirty cheap budget, under 75 USD, any words of wisdom?

I feel, if you're adding peripherals to your Pi, you can afford having a dedicated power supply too. The only Pis I run on PoE are the one's where I can get away with a single cable to them

5:00 'old hat used a wire around a magnet transformer' -- is that right? Not a magnet but (iron) ferrite core?

Ferrite core :) I'll be more careful with my words in the future.

You can not safely provide DC positive energy from two different sources without connecting the ground (negative) together. Think of it as a voltage difference that provides current. When you connect grounds it ensures the same "voltage difference" is established between the two sources.

Thanks! This is a better explanation than others I have seen, and makes more sense. Intuitively, I know that the cheap non isolated adapter I got to power a pi zero from 24vac would cause blue smoke when connected to a DC power supply, but couldn't quite understand why.

Hi there ...is it possible to still use the GPIO pins as the POE Connector does not show any pins ...only small holes but when plugged into the pi ...can those wholes be plugged with small cables?
