CM5 Expansion Base Board for Compute Module 5 — M.2 NVMe, Power over Ethernet, Type C 5V 5A, USB & Ethernet

Designed to work with every variant of the Compute Module 5 (CM5), this expansion base board adds high-speed storage and flexible power/networking options. It accepts M.2 NVMe solid disk drives for much faster read/write performance than traditional small card slots, and supports booting from NVMe solid disks in size 2280, 2260, 2242, and 2230. Power can be supplied via Ethernet (Power over Ethernet) to deliver both network connectivity and power over a single cable, or via a Type C 5V 5A input for efficient power delivery through USB-C. The board also provides a variety of onboard peripheral connectors, including USB, Ethernet and small card slots, to simplify system expansion and connectivity for your RPi.
