Adafruit Wiz5500 Ethernet Co-Processor Breakout Board

Experience the precision and reliability of a wired connection with the Wiz5500 Ethernet Breakout. Elevate your IoT projects by seamlessly integrating an Ethernet port for stable Internet access. Simply plug in a standard Ethernet cable and deploy the Ethernet Arduino library or CircuitPython for cross-platform compatibility.

Ethernet stands as a proven networking standard, supported by all hubs and switches. It offers hassle-free connectivity by eliminating the need for SSIDs, passwords, or antennas. The WIZ5500 chip communicates efficiently over SPI with just a single CS pin, ensuring smooth integration.

Our breakout board, featuring the Wiz5500, comes equipped with all necessary support circuitry for 3V or 5V microcontrollers, providing comprehensive level shifting. The RJ-45 jack is designed with link and activity lights to clearly display connection status.

Though this version lacks PoE support, you can easily add it with a PoE splitter. A separate version offers 5V at a maximum of 2.4 Amp into a USB connector. Your order includes one assembled and tested breakout plus some header, requiring minimal soldering effort.
