great for travel kit
i pack this in my travel toolkit along with my raspberry pi setup because it saves so much space without needing extra power bricks and the stackable gpio header lets me connect other boards easily

was skeptical par mast hai
was skeptical at first ki single ethernet cable se power aur net dono properly chalega ya nahi but yeh ekdum badhiya kaam kar raha hai aur active cooling fan ki wajah se board heat bhi nahi hota
- Rohan V.5 ★
first time trying waveshare
first time ordering from waveshare and i am honestly super impressed with how clean my setup looks now since i dont need a separate power adapter anymore for my pi 5 and the metal heatsink keeps temps totally fine during heavy work

daily use ke liye accha hai
use it daily for my home server project before heading out to office and it handles the power delivery nicely though delivery took two days extra
