Forecr DSBOX-ORNX-LAN-AC4 NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano 4GB Compact Industrial Embedded Computer with Dual LAN

Some edge jobs need only one camera and a compact model, but still have to sit between a device network and a site network, much like an industrial gateway that also runs inference. The DSBOX-ORNX-LAN-AC4 is the entry compact industrial embedded computer in the Forecr DSBOX-ORNX-LAN series, built around the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano 4GB.

The Jetson Orin Nano 4GB pairs NVIDIA Ampere GPU cores with Arm64 CPU cores and 4 GB of 64-bit LPDDR5, enough for single-stream detection, counting and classification tasks. The DSBOX-ORNX-LAN-AC4 supports Ubuntu Linux 20.04 with JetPack 5.1, the same software base as the larger modules, so an application can move to a bigger tier later without a rewrite.

Choosing the entry module keeps the full connectivity. The DSBOX-ORNX-LAN-AC4 provides 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, with one Type-C port also used 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. A 9-28 VDC input powers the unit.

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. At 110 x 130 x 60 mm and 765 g, the industrial embedded computer fits small enclosures and control cabinets with space to spare. Where the workload needs more memory, the DSBOX-ORNX-LAN-AC8 carries the Orin Nano 8GB, and the DSBOX-ORNX-LAN-AB16 moves to the Jetson Orin NX 16GB.
