FCCDSBOX-TX2NX-AA Overview
Fixed IIoT gateways and machine-side analytics boxes usually sit unattended in a cabinet, where a compact footprint and low power draw matter more than local controls. Forecr builds the DSBOX-TX2NX-AA for those installs: the standard industrial I/O model in the DSBOX-TX2NX series, a fanless compact embedded computer built on the NVIDIA Jetson TX2 NX.
The Jetson TX2 NX pairs a dual-core NVIDIA Denver 2 64-bit CPU and a quad-core Arm Cortex-A57 MPCore processor with a 256-core NVIDIA Pascal GPU and 4 GB of 128-bit LPDDR4 memory. Rated at 1.33 TFLOPS, it runs deep neural networks and processes up to 14 Full-HD video streams with the DeepStream SDK, all under 15 W on Ubuntu Linux 18.04, which keeps heat and power budgets small in sealed cabinets.
The DSBOX-TX2NX-AA connects through one Gigabit Ethernet port, two USB 3.1 Type-A ports, one CAN Bus port, a software-configurable RS-232/422/485 port and 2-in/3-out digital I/O, with an HDMI 2.0 output for 4K display at 3840 x 2160. Storage combines 16 GB of eMMC 5.1 flash, a MicroSD slot and an M.2 Key-M SSD socket, while M.2 Key-E and Key-B sockets take WiFi, Bluetooth, LTE or 5G modules, with a SIM slot for the cellular module on Key-B. Input power is 9-28 VDC.
Forecr rates the DSBOX-TX2NX-AA from -25°C to +65°C ambient in a fanless 110 x 130 x 60 mm enclosure designed for 24/7 operation. This compact embedded computer fits size and power constrained systems across IIoT and edge analytics, from smart city cabinets to industrial automation and transport installs. Where operators need to switch power locally, the DSBOX-TX2NX-XX-P adds the power button option while keeping the same compute and I/O.

Official Forecr UK Distributor
Things Embedded is an official Forecr UK distributor, and the DSBOX-TX2NX-AA is the standard I/O model in Forecr's compact TX2 NX range, built for fixed and unattended installs inside cabinets and machines. In the same enclosure size, the DSBOX-NX2 steps up to Jetson Xavier NX and 21 TOPS for heavier models, and the DSBOX-N2 offers a cost-effective Jetson Nano build for simpler analytics. For Orin-generation modules, the DSBOX-ORNX takes Jetson Orin NX and Orin Nano in a fanless industrial box.
Across categories, the DSBOX-TX2NX-AA sits among our TX2 NX computers and our wider industrial PCs range for factory and cabinet installs where space and power are limited. With CAN Bus and serial built in alongside digital I/O, it also appears in our Jetson CAN bus computers for machine networks, vehicles and drives that need AI connected directly to their controllers. Its low power draw also suits installs fed from a vehicle or machine DC supply.
