PoE Expansion Board for RDK X5, 802.3af/at Power Over Ethernet Module with Cooling Fan & Metal Heatsink, 5V/12V Output, Stackable GPIO Header, Compatible with D-Robotics RDK X5

Overview The RDK X5 PoE Expansion Board is a powerful and efficient Power over Ethernet module designed to provide both network connectivity and stable power supply through a single Ethernet cable. Fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3 af/at standards, this board is ideal for developers using the D-Robotics RDK X5 development platform, especially in applications requiring minimal cabling and reliable power. With support for up to 25W total output, this PoE board features dedicated 5V and 12V output headers. The 5V output can supply up to 4.5A, making it capable of powering not only the RDK X5 board but also additional devices such as sensors, actuators, and camerasperfect for advanced embedded systems and robotics.

Thermal stability is a key feature, thanks to the onboard active cooling fan combined with a metal heatsink, which ensures efficient heat dissipation during continuous high-load operation. The fully isolated switched-mode power supply (SMPS) and integrated high-power buck converter allow for safe and efficient voltage regulation, delivering up to 5A under sufficient cooling conditions. The expansion board includes a standard 40PIN stackable GPIO header, maintaining compatibility with other accessories and extension boards designed for the RDK X5 ecosystem. Whether you're developing smart edge computing solutions, powering high-performance robotic platforms, or deploying distributed IoT systems, this PoE expansion board for RDK X5 offers the reliability and convenience needed for advanced development environments.

With online documentation, example usage, and community support, integrating this board into your RDK X5 projects is seamless and developer-friendly. Package include 1. RDK PoE Module × 1 2. Heatsink × 1 3. Screws pack × 1
