X6X-ORN Overview
Outdoor camera poles, vehicle roofs and washdown areas are hard on computers with open ports, and on the cable glands used to protect them. The DFI X6X-ORN takes a different route: a fanless edge AI IP67 computer with every connector on a sealed M12, M20 or M23 fitting, built around NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX or Orin Nano.
The X6X-ORN takes any of four modules: Orin NX 16GB or 8GB, rated at 10 to 40 W, or Orin Nano 8GB or 4GB at 7 to 25 W, all in MAXN Super mode. Each pairs a 64-bit Arm Cortex-A78AE CPU with an NVIDIA Ampere GPU, 1024 cores with 32 Tensor Cores on the larger modules and 512 cores with 16 Tensor Cores on the Orin Nano 4GB, and up to 16 GB of LPDDR5. It ships with JetPack 6.2, and an M.2 2242/2280 M-key slot takes an NVMe SSD for models and recordings.
Four GbE ports from Intel i210 controllers use M12 X-coded connectors, and two of them supply 15 W IEEE 802.3af PoE to IP cameras. Two GMSL2 inputs on FAKRA Z-code connectors take automotive-style cameras. A single M23 A-coded connector carries RS-232, CAN 2.0 and four digital inputs and four outputs, with HDMI, USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 on M20 fittings. An M.2 E-key slot takes Wi-Fi 6E, an M.2 B-key slot takes 5G or LTE, and the SIM slot sits behind its own M20 cover.
Power arrives through an M12 B-coded connector at 9 to 36 V DC. The X6X-ORN runs from -20 to 60 °C, is tested to IEC 60068-2-27 and IEC 60068-2-64 and to MIL-STD-810H Method 514.8 for shock and vibration, and carries CE, FCC Class A and RoHS. The IP67 computer measures 237 x 194 x 105.3 mm, weighs 5.2 kg and wall mounts with the supplied brackets. DFI lists the X6X-ORN as preliminary, so confirm availability for your module choice.
