PCIe 2.5GbE with PoE
PCIe 2.5GbE with PoE
This one is weird in the best way: it’s a 2.5GbE PCIe NIC that can actually supply PoE+ out of the port, powered by a SATA power connector. I tested it with a 12V PoE splitter and it worked—powered my board and gave me a solid 2.5GbE link—but I’m still on the fence about who it’s really for versus just buying a cheap PoE switch.
