Poe details and methods for energizing a rPi via a Mikrotik router
Poe details and methods for energizing a rPi via a Mikrotik router
Need assistance, I require an experienced adult with networking expertise. Your Mikrotik RB2011 UiAS RM router is supplying up to 30W of power, and you've configured PoE to always be active. You plan to use it to energize a Raspberry Pi 3B+ via a PoE adapter. The details about the PoE device are unclear to you, and you're eager to share photos soon. Help needed!
It would be effective to use a robust PoE standard, such as 802.3af or better. There are also options that support 802.3at for higher power delivery.
i’d prefer replacing the 20 euro hat with a more affordable router instead of buying an expensive one. the mikrotik specs don’t specify the poe type, only that it delivers the same output as the unit with a maximum of 500mah. it does mention a 30v input and is described as passive tough, which points to poe 2.0 or similar.
Explore PoE injectors available in the UK for about £25, often more affordable than a PoE switch. For example, the TRENDnet TPE-115GI is an option. If your requirement is 100Mbps, faster Ethernet models may be available at a lower cost.
