Raspberry Pi Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Adapter
Compatible with the Raspberry Pi Model B
Allows a Raspberry Pi B PCB to be powered over
the CAT5 Cable from a PoE Router

+5 Volts at up to 1.25 Amps Output
Plugs directly into Raspberry Pi PCB
Conforms to IEEE 802.3af Switch
Powered from remote ‘PoE’ Injector
GPIO and Console Connector
CE Marked - meets relevant CE Directives (EMC, ROHS, WEEE)
The Xtronix ‘Power Over Ethernet’ (PoE) adapter is designed to be plugged directly on to a Raspberry Pi printed circuit board and to supply +5 Volts to the Raspberry Pi. The adapter fully conforms to the IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet standard.
It is intended to be powered by an IEEE 802.3af compatible Injector where power is supplied over the Ethernet Cable. A 4 pin connector allows the user to connect a suitable console cable, a 2 pin connector allow supplies +5Volts to user equipment and a 26 Way connector allows the user to connect to the Raspberry Pi GPIO connector. A metal pillar and screws allow the PCB to be fixed to the Pi PCB (Later Pi PCBs only).

GPIO Connector
The GPIO connector and the adapter PCB (CONN2) allows the user to connect to the Raspberry Pi PCB GPIO. The pin out of this connector is the same as the Raspberry Pi PCB GPIO connector P1. It is a 26 way connector.
Console Cable
The 4 way connector ‘CONN3’ on the adapter PCB allows the user to plug in a suitable console cable lead. This allows access to the Raspberry Pi console port. A suitable mating connector is a Molex KK series (0.1”) shell and crimps.
NOTE: The signal levels on connector CONN3 are 3V3 TTL compatible.
The signals are clearly marked on the PCB:RX, TX, GND and +3V3. The serial interface settings for communicationwith the Raspberry Pi PCB are as follows: 115200 Baud, 8 Data Bits, 2 Stop Bits, No Parity.
Xtronix is able to supply compatible console cables that connects directly to a RS232 port or to a USB port (creating avirtual Serial Port) - contact sales@xtronix.co.uk for details.
+5V Connector
The 2 way connector on the adapter PCB allows the user to plug in a power supply lead to power external equipment fron the +5 volts on the PoE adapter. A suitable mating connector is a Molex KK series (0.1”) shell and crimps.

Mounting Box
The PCB is also available mounted in a translucent red plastic box that can house the Raspberry Pi PCB with the Xtronix PoE Adapter PCB mounted.

The box is in two parts, the base into which the Raspberry Pi PCB together with the PoE PCB is clipped into and a lid that fits on top of the base protecting the boards from damage. The box has apertures that allow the various Ethernet, USB, HDMI and Audio cables to be brought out of the box. The box also extends around the memory card protecting it from damage.
