Dual Ethernet base board kit for Raspberry Pi CM5 with support for 4G / 5G, enclosure and power supply - Waveshare 33063

Description

CM5-DUAL-ETH-4G/5G-BOX is an advanced base board designed for use with Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5. The design integrates two independent Ethernet interfaces—one Gigabit Ethernet 1000M port and one 2.5G Ethernet 2500M port - enabling advanced networking applications, edge systems, and industrial solutions.

The board supports two HDMI outputs with simultaneous dual 4K display capability, as well as two 4-lane MIPI interfaces intended for connecting DSI displays or CSI cameras. The M.2 M Key connector allows installation of NVMe SSDs, providing high disk I/O performance, while the additional M.2 B Key connector enables integration of 4G or 5G cellular communication modules.

                                                                                                                 4G / 5G Module Compatibility

Onboard features include a Raspberry Pi–compatible 40-pin GPIO header, two USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A ports, a TF card slot for Compute Module 5 Lite variants, and a nano SIM slot for cellular modules. Power is supplied via a wide 7–36 V DC input range or a 5 V / 5 A USB-C port. The design also allows for the use of an IEEE 802.3af-compliant PoE module.

The solution is intended for remote communication systems, networking infrastructure, industrial automation, edge computing, and applications requiring continuous operation, high network throughput, and flexible hardware expansion.

The kit includes a metal enclosure and a power supply.
