Whatever happened to the POE HAT+ (Pi5 Edition) ?

Here is all the design talk form October 2023, about 70 weeks ago, but as far as I remember it never appeared.

So either demand is not deemed there, or someone forgot about it, or getting a reliable and stable 5A is a problem.
(It was also missing from the Pi500 product but is on designed on the board so that may rule out demand)

https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/design ... etworking/ to refresh your memory. This is now quality 'Vapourware' ?

The Pi 4 PoE hat claims 802.3at and 4A at 5V suggesting 20W when the standard specifies 30W. I recall I used to drive one (on its own) with no problems from an af switch port. So I would guess everything needs to be chunked up a bit to reach 30W with a bit of margin for tolerance.
There is at least a design in principal, the shadow of which can be seen on the PCB silk screen of a Pi500.
