GregoIncTwo RaspberryPi POE Hats bought not too far apart from the same supplier but with very different packaging?
Fake, real? One has made in PRC on it, and the other doesn't?

I'd like to know the answer of this as well. Maybe the folks at @Raspberry_Pi can shed some light on this.

Alasdair Allan@ostueker @gregoinc We do make the @[email protected] PoE HAT in China, and we have updated our packaging recently. So it could well be that packaging update kicking in. Photographs are pretty blurry though, and honestly, I haven't seen either the old or new packaging for the PoE HAT so couldn't tell you definitively. Can you provide slightly better photos (and photographs of the boards themselves alongside)?
@ostueker @gregoinc @[email protected] The TL;DR is "this looks like our recent packaging update, but without further pictures of the boards it's hard to tell."
@aallan @ostueker @Raspberry_Pi Greetings, as requested, see additional photos.
Let's start with the latest purchase. Attached are photos of the packaging and the board.
@aallan @ostueker @Raspberry_Pi And here's the older packaging... sorry, the board is on a functional Pi, so I really didn't want to pull it apart. But the boards look identical, as far as I can tell.
@gregoinc @ostueker @[email protected] I wouldn't want to say definitively unless I had to boards in my hands. But looks to be the packaging update kicking in, you'll be seeing our packaging being refreshed across all our products with the new product specific word marks and the new logo.
