NRU-156-JON16 Overview

Six USB3 cameras feeding one inspection model can exhaust 8 GB of memory quickly, especially when several networks run side by side. The NRU-156-JON16 pairs those six ports with the 16 GB module. It is the 16 GB USB3 build of the Neousys NRU-150-FT series of fanless edge AI computers, with an NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 16GB and a flattop heatsink for sealed enclosures.

The Orin NX 16GB module has 16 GB of LPDDR5 at 3200 MHz, and Neousys rates the series at up to 100 TOPS of inference within 25 W. That suits larger segmentation models, multi-model pipelines and multi-stream inference across all six cameras on the NRU-156-JON16. It ships with a 128 GB NVMe drive in the M.2 2242 socket at PCIe Gen4 x2, carrying a pre-installed system image with JetPack.

Six USB 3.2 ports with screw-lock retention, two at Gen2 and four at Gen1, give each camera full bandwidth, and two USB 2.0 ports cover peripherals. A GbE port links the plant network, and serial I/O is one RS-232 port and one isolated RS-485 port for PLCs and reject mechanisms. A DisplayPort output runs at 3840 x 2160, and a micro USB OTG port sits inside. For lighter workloads, the NRU-156-JON8 uses the 8 GB module, and the NRU-154-JON16 swaps the USB ports for four PoE+ ports.

Power is 12 V DC. Mounted on a 50 x 50 cm metal plate or cabinet, the NRU-156-JON16 runs from -25 °C to 60 °C in 20 W mode with no throttling, with MIL-STD-810H vibration and shock, in a 116 x 171 x 27 mm chassis weighing 1.0 kg.

Official Neousys UK Distributor

Things Embedded is an official Neousys UK distributor, supplying the NRU-156-JON16 for sealed cabinets that run larger models on USB3 cameras. The NRU-160-FT carries Jetson Orin NX onto robots and vehicles with GMSL2 or M12 PoE+ cameras. For x86 software behind a flattop heatsink, the POC-700-FT offers four screw-lock USB 3.2 ports on an Intel Core i3-N305. Each of these conducts heat into surrounding metal instead of relying on airflow.

Across our range, the NRU-156-JON16 sits with our AI inference computers and our Jetson Orin NX computers, where 100 TOPS and six USB3 ports behind a flattop heatsink are uncommon. Its -25 °C to 60 °C rating places it among our extended-temperature computers for enclosures on processing lines and roadsides. The passive design also places it with our fanless range for dusty processing areas.
