I have these for some raspberry pis around the house and they work great: https://www.adafruit.com/product/3785

I know there are third party solutions, just waiting for what they said would be coming soon when they announced the pi 5. That was almost a year ago now, right?

Why would you use PoE? Can’t one connect a raspberry pi to an outlet?

Allows me to run my pis in my rack with only one cable for network and power. It’s how I run all my SoCs, I hate cable management, so I reduce cables as much as possible.

As someone who is (somewhat) interested in doing a similar setup like yours – does it stack? As in, energy is divided between all pis that are connected to that single cable?

thousand reasons to use Poe for tiny devices like this. Ethernet is easier to run for cameras, security setups. don’t need a plug if you’ve got a switch on your workbench. one less cable to run.
