Waveshare Mini Dual Gigabit Ethernet Base Board For Raspberry Pi CM4 - Complete Kit With Case & Power Adapter

About This Product

Serious Raspberry Pi enthusiasts and networking pros, this Waveshare Mini Dual Gigabit Ethernet Base Board turns your Compute Module 4 into an absolute networking powerhouse. This complete kit includes everything you need - the base board itself, a sleek aluminum alloy case for both protection and heat dissipation, a speed-adjustable fan, and a proper power supply adapter. The dual gigabit Ethernet ports are the real game-changer here, making this setup perfect for building routers, firewalls, network monitoring systems, or any project where you need multiple reliable network connections. The aluminum case isn't just for looks - it provides excellent thermal conductivity to keep your CM4 running cool even under heavy load, and the built-in fan with cooling fins ensures temperatures stay manageable during intensive operations. The magnetic removable top design is so clever - it makes accessing the board for maintenance or configuration changes incredibly easy while still providing solid protection for the GPIO pins. You get all the essential connectivity options too - single-channel USB 2.0, standard 40-pin Raspberry Pi GPIO header, and that versatile Type-C interface that can be used for both power supply and programming the image (just remember to use the DIP switch to switch between functions). The 5V/2A power requirement is important to note - make sure you're using adequate power to avoid shutdowns or performance throttling. Whether you're building a sophisticated network appliance, industrial controller, or just want the most capable Raspberry Pi setup possible, this base board delivers professional-grade networking capabilities in a compact, well-designed package. It's one of those upgrades that takes your Raspberry Pi projects from hobbyist level to near-professional equipment level, and the included cooling solution means you can run it hard without worrying about thermal issues.
