CM4 Carrier Board Kit with Metal Enclosure, without Compute Module – RAKwireless RAKR314

This version is a CM4 hardware kit, not just a standalone carrier board. It includes the RAKR314 baseboard, a metal enclosure kit with mounting hardware, and an EU power adapter. The Compute Module 4 itself is not included.

That fits projects where the buyer already has a CM4 or wants to choose the module configuration separately. Instead of starting with an exposed board on the bench, the system can be assembled directly into an enclosure. That is useful for controllers, edge computers, test systems, network appliances, industrial prototypes, and custom IoT hardware.

The RAKR314 follows the Raspberry Pi 4 form factor and provides the interfaces commonly needed in real deployments: Gigabit Ethernet, two USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 ports, two USB Type-C connectors for power and CM4 programming, a 40-pin GPIO header, and MicroSD. Buyers who want to reuse existing HATs or integrate CM4 into a Raspberry Pi compatible mechanical layout get a practical base here.

The kit also makes sense for PoE-based builds because the board supports the RAK PoE HAT. That matters in cabinets, technical rooms, wall-mounted units, and compact edge systems where power and data are carried over Ethernet. With the metal enclosure included, the board is easier to turn into a finished device instead of leaving it as an open assembly.
