PCIe expansion board for 4-channel Gigabit Ethernet (B) for Raspberry Pi 5
High-quality expansion board adding four Gigabit Ethernet ports to the Raspberry Pi 5 minicomputer via the PCIe connector. The module does not require additional drivers in the Raspberry Pi OS (plug-and-play) and allows for convenient mounting above or below the main board. An ideal solution for building advanced network devices, routers, or multi-port IoT gateways.
Key features:
- Designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi 5 minicomputer (supports PCIe ×1 Gen2 mode).
- No driver installation required in Raspberry Pi OS – full plug-and-play.
- Equipped with an efficient, original Realtek RTL8153 controller and a VL805 expansion chip.
- Four RJ45 ports operating at 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds.
- Status indicators for each port: green LED (power and connection status) and yellow LED (flashing during data transmission).
- 5V standard power supply, provided by default directly via the PCIe cable.
Connection and mounting method
The module connects to the Raspberry Pi 5 PCIe connector using a dedicated 16-pin FPC ribbon cable. The thoughtful design allows for stable and secure mounting without blocking the minicomputer's other interfaces.
