The ZDE ZP595 is a PCIe to Dual 2.5G Ethernet Port HAT expansion board designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi 5 to turn it into a router, gateway, or firewall.
Key Specifications
• Ports: Dual 2.5Gbps RJ45 Ethernet ports (eth1 and eth2)
• Chips: Uses a PCIe Switch chip to split the Raspberry Pi 5's PCIe lane, paired with dual Realtek RTL8125 Ethernet controllers.
• Compatibility: Designed for the Raspberry Pi 5 (2GB / 4GB / 8GB / 16GB models); can be paired with the ZC506 aluminum alloy case (or purchased as the ZP546 kit which includes both).
The ZC506 features a modular design with detachable Ethernet blocks. When using the ZP595 dual-port board, you simply remove the pre-installed side plates to perfectly expose the two 2.5G RJ45 ports alongside the Raspberry Pi 5’s original native Gigabit Ethernet port.
