LORDWORLD PCIe to M.2 E Key Adapter with PoE HAT for Raspberry Pi 5

SKU CH-XZ7F-8DW5K

Adds M.2 E-key wireless and PoE power to a Raspberry Pi 5 via 16-pin PCIe with 40-pin GPIO stacking

  • Adds M.2 E-Key wireless NIC via 16-pin PCIe link
  • Powers Pi 5 and network over single Ethernet cable
  • Stackable 40-pin GPIO header keeps expansion options open
  • Onboard SMA antenna connector for stronger wireless reception
  • Routes Bluetooth to Pi 5 through USB adapter

Raspberry Pi 5 PCIe HAT with PoE

This adapter board connects to the Raspberry Pi 5 through its 16-pin PCIe interface and provides an M.2 E-key slot for wireless NIC modules. It also integrates a PoE HAT so the Pi can receive both power and network connectivity over a single Ethernet cable. The standard 40-pin GPIO header is stackable, allowing additional HATs to be fitted on top. Makers and developers building compact edge devices can add Wi-Fi or Bluetooth without occupying the USB ports.

Wireless NIC expansion for Pi 5 projects

The board suits builders who want to add an M.2 E-key or A/E-key wireless module and power the Raspberry Pi 5 via PoE in one step. It is not for users who need M.2 M-key storage devices or who plan to run the Pi without a PoE-enabled network switch. The design targets the Pi 5's specific 16-pin PCIe connector, so it will not fit earlier Raspberry Pi models. Buyers without PoE infrastructure should consider a standard power supply instead.

16-pin PCIe interface compatibility

The decisive specification is the 16-pin PCIe connection that exists only on the Raspberry Pi 5. This adapter plugs directly into that interface and cannot be used with boards that lack the matching connector. The M.2 slot accepts E-key and A/E-key wireless NICs, while the onboard SMA female antenna connector supports external antennas for improved wireless performance.

Questions about this item

What Raspberry Pi model must I already have to use the 16-pin PCIe interface on this adapter?

The adapter connects to the Raspberry Pi 5 through its 16-pin PCIe cable, so a Pi 5 is required.

Can I keep using my existing HATs that plug into the 40-pin GPIO header while this adapter is installed?

Yes, the board includes a standard 40-pin GPIO stackable header that lets you attach other HATs on top.

How can I verify the PoE HAT is delivering both power and network data to the Pi 5 over a single Ethernet cable?

The Pi 5 should boot without a separate USB-C power supply and show a working Ethernet link in the OS network settings.
