RA027G3 – Dual 2.5G HAT for SBCs and Raspberry Pi: High-Speed Dual Port Network Expansion
The RA027G3 Dual 2.5G HAT is a high-performance network expansion board designed for the Raspberry Pi, All-in-One Networking & Storage Expansion for SBCs, providing two 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports for projects requiring fast, stable, and high-throughput wired networking. With its compact HAT form factor, it integrates seamlessly onto the Raspberry Pi’s 40-pin GPIO header, making it ideal for network appliances, NAS setups, IoT gateways, firewalls, and high-speed data transfer applications.
Powered by an onboard controller, the RA027G3 allows the Raspberry Pi to leverage 2.5GbE networking far beyond the standard 1GbE port, offering significantly improved bandwidth for advanced applications. Both ports can be used simultaneously, enabling dual-LAN configurations, bridging, routing, or redundancy setups.
