PI3B+ POE Extension

I found this https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07JPXR9ZN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_soZPFbBRAQSAC
Anybody using it? What do you think?
I plan to couple auto shutdown from Synology NAS connected to UPS
Anybody already implemented something like that?
Thx

Hi
can you tell me what you mean by auto shutdown ?

When power goes down, force a nice system shutdown before UPS shuts down

you mean you want Synology NAS to shutdwn before UPS shuts down correct ?
the UPS connect to Synology ?

If the UPS is attached to the NAS, you could enable the NUT service (Settings > Hardware & Power) then in HA, configure the NUT integration. Then create an automation in HA to shutdown the RPi based on the NUT sensors such as time remaining or battery level percentage. Of course that’s assuming you’re running HA on the RPi this PoE adapter will be connected to.

I was a bit curious, so did the test on my local Syno +Pi. Very straight forward, a few clicks and it work!.
Many thanks for your helps.
