M5Stack MQTT PoE Unit – Reliable Network Connectivity for IoT Projects

The M5Stack MQTT PoE Unit enables M5Stack microcontrollers to have a stable network connection via Power over Ethernet (PoE). With the integrated W5500 chip and RJ45 port, both data communication and power supply are realized over a single cable.

  • PoE Function: Eliminate a separate power supply – one Ethernet cable delivers data and power.
  • W5500 Hardware TCP/IP: The dedicated chip offloads the main processor and ensures low latency in network communication.
  • RJ45 Port: Compatible with standard network infrastructure – easy to integrate into existing setups.
  • Compact Design: At only 4 g weight and minimal dimensions, the unit fits into any enclosure.
  • 24 Months Manufacturer Warranty: Ensures long-term investment security for your projects.

What sets the M5Stack MQTT PoE Unit apart

Thanks to the W5500 chip, hardware-based TCP/IP processing is provided, offloading the main controller and ensuring reliable data transmission. The PoE function eliminates the need for additional power adapters and simplifies installation in hard-to-reach areas. The unit is specifically designed for the M5Stack ecosystem and seamlessly connects with M5Stack Core, M5StickC, and other models.

Ideal for...

This PoE unit is aimed at IoT developers, smart home enthusiasts, and industrial users who need a reliable network connection for their M5Stack projects. Perfect for applications such as sensor networks, actuator control, or data loggers where a stable PoE connection is desired.

How to use the M5Stack MQTT PoE Unit

Connect the unit via the RJ45 port to a PoE switch or injector. Plug the unit onto the M5Stack Core (e.g., M5Stack Core2) – the contacts are compatible with the M5Stack bus interface. Program the module using the Arduino IDE or UIFlow with MQTT libraries. For operation, a PoE switch or injector is required; the unit draws power according to IEEE 802.3af.

M5Stack is a leading manufacturer of modular, ESP32-based microcontroller units for IoT and embedded projects. Their products are known for easy expandability with various units and modules. M5Stack offers an open development platform supporting Arduino, MicroPython, and UIFlow.
