I have many Pi 4 devices, and would have had many more if they hadn't become so difficult to obtain. One of the things that I liked about the 4, in particular, was the capability of being powered by PoE. I have now put in pre-orders for two Pi 5 devices, from different sellers; one 4GB model and one 8GB model. It appears as if we will still need a HAT in order to use PoE but it also appears that none exist that will work for the Pi 5; is that correct?
On a slightly different note, is there any 3D technical drawings yet for the 5 so that I can design my own custom case?

PoE+ HAT
From early 2024, we will be offering a new PoE+ HAT. This supports the new location for the four-pin PoE header, and has an L-shaped form factor which allows it to sit inside the Raspberry Pi 5 case without interfering mechanically or disrupting airflow.

Prototype PoE+ HAT. We don’t know yet what the production version will look like, but we do know that it won’t look like this.
The new PoE+ HAT integrates a planar transformer into the PCB layout, and utilises an optimised flyback converter architecture to sustain high efficiency across the whole zero to 25W range of output powers.
