DSBOX-ORNX-LAN-AB16 Overview
Smart city and robotics projects that fuse several camera streams need memory for multiple models and a clean path from the camera network to wherever the results go. The DSBOX-ORNX-LAN-AB16 combines both, carrying the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 16GB in a wide-temperature industrial embedded computer from the Forecr DSBOX-ORNX-LAN series.
The Orin NX 16GB module brings NVIDIA Ampere GPU cores, Arm64 CPU cores and 16 GB of 128-bit LPDDR5, and it is the module behind the 100 TOPS of AI performance quoted for the series. That memory lets the DSBOX-ORNX-LAN-AB16 keep detection, tracking and classification models resident together across several streams. Ubuntu Linux 20.04 and JetPack 5.1 are supported.
Connectivity on the DSBOX-ORNX-LAN-AB16 covers two Gigabit Ethernet ports, the second on its own PCIe-to-Ethernet controller, three USB 3.1 Type-C ports, an HDMI 2.0 output at up to 3840 x 2160, one CAN bus port, one RS232 and one RS422 port, and two digital inputs with two digital outputs. One Type-C port also serves for recovery. Two M.2 Key-M slots take SSD storage, a 2280 socket on four PCIe lanes and a 2230 socket, while an M.2 Key-E socket adds WiFi and Bluetooth. Power is taken from a 9-28 VDC input suited to vehicle and panel supplies.
Forecr specifies an aluminium enclosure that dissipates heat and protects against dust, shock and vibration, and the module runs without a fan across a -25°C to +85°C ambient range. The industrial embedded computer measures 110 x 130 x 60 mm and weighs 765 g. Where 8 GB is enough, the DSBOX-ORNX-LAN-AB8 uses the Orin NX 8GB, and the DSBOX-ORNX-LAN-AA leaves the module choice open.

Official Forecr UK Distributor
Things Embedded is an official Forecr UK distributor, supplying the DSBOX-ORNX-LAN-AB16 alongside Forecr's other Jetson Orin units. The DSBOX-ORNX offers the Orin NX 16GB with one LAN port and an M.2 Key-B socket for LTE or 5G, the MILBOX-ORNX carries Orin NX in a rugged compact build for more exposed sites, and the DSBOX-AGXMAX moves to Jetson AGX Orin with 10 Gigabit Ethernet when the network and compute load grows beyond what the Orin NX module class provides, such as many high-resolution camera streams.
Carrying the Orin NX 16GB, the DSBOX-ORNX-LAN-AB16 sits with our Jetson Orin NX computers as the highest-memory dual LAN option. It also belongs among our AI inference computers, handling multi-camera analytics at the edge. Its onboard CAN bus port places it with our Jetson CAN bus computers too, for robots, autonomous machines and vehicles that run perception and control traffic on one compact unit, with the second LAN port kept free for camera or sensor networks.
