Black ABS case with rounded edges, one RJ45 port and three USB ports on a Raspberry Pi Zero HAT

MCDODO

MCDODO Ethernet USB HUB HAT B Box ABS Case 1 RJ45 10/100M 3 USB 2.0/1.1

SKU CH-8KAP-68BRT

Adds wired Ethernet and three USB 2.0 ports to Raspberry Pi Zero boards via pogo pins, housed in a snap-fit ABS case with interchangeable lids

  • Product typeSingle Board Computers
  • Adds wired 10/100M networking via RTL8152B chip
  • Three extra USB 2.0/1.1 ports for peripherals
  • Pogo-pin connection snaps straight onto Zero boards
  • Two interchangeable ABS lids let you change the look
  • Rounded ABS shell resists fingerprints and feels smooth

Purpose and audience

This Ethernet and USB hub HAT adds wired networking and three extra USB ports to Raspberry Pi Zero series boards. It targets makers and developers who need a compact way to connect peripherals and a LAN cable to a Zero, Zero W, Zero WH, Zero 2 W or Zero 2 WH without soldering.

Deciding specification

The board uses an RTL8152B chip to provide a single RJ45 port with 10/100M auto-negotiation. If your project requires gigabit throughput or Power over Ethernet this HAT will not meet that need.

What the bundle changes

The package includes an ABS case with two interchangeable lids that snap onto the assembled HAT. The enclosure protects the PCB and pogo-pin connector while giving a finished, anti-fingerprint surface for bench or deployment use.

Questions about this item

What does the 10/100M Ethernet rating mean when the HAT is attached to a Raspberry Pi Zero?

The RTL8152B chip provides a single RJ45 port that auto-negotiates at 10 or 100 Mbps, giving the Zero a wired network link it otherwise lacks.

How do the three USB ports perform under the USB 2.0/1.1 specification?

They run at USB 2.0 High Speed and remain backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices, adding three Type-A sockets to the Zero's single USB OTG port.

What physical clearance does the ABS case require around the Raspberry Pi Zero?

The snap-on lid and pogo-pin connector sit directly on the Zero's GPIO header, so the board needs no extra standoffs and fits the standard Zero footprint.
