Vecow VCM-2000A Intel 12th to 14th Gen Core Compact Industrial Computer with Fanless Cooling, 9-36V DC and -40 to 60 °C

Vehicle depots, rolling stock and roadside cabinets rarely offer a clean 12 V supply, and a unit there has to cope with ignition cycles and wide supply swings. The Vecow VCM-2000A is a compact industrial computer for that work: it takes 9 to 36 V DC, cools 35 W processors on a fanless heat sink and runs from -40 °C to 60 °C, as the wide-input heat-sink model of the VCM-2000 series.

The VCM-2000A takes a socketed 35 W processor from the 14th Gen Core T, 13th Gen Core TE or 12th Gen Core TE ranges, from Core i3 up to Core i9, on an Intel H610E chipset with Intel UHD Graphics. Two DDR5 5600 MHz SO-DIMM slots take up to 96 GB, enough for fleet telematics, passenger information or video recording software under Windows 11 or Linux.

Networking is one Intel I219LM Gigabit port and three Intel I226 2.5GbE ports, with four RS-232/422/485 COM ports, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 and two USB 2.0 ports, HDMI 2.0 at up to 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz, DVI-I at up to 1920 x 1080 and audio. Storage covers two SATA III ports for SSD or HDD and an M.2 M key socket on PCIe x4. Two external SIM sockets serve an M.2 B key socket and a full-size Mini PCIe socket for optional 5G or 4G modules, while an M.2 E key socket and a second Mini PCIe socket take optional Wi-Fi or mSATA.

Power is 9 to 36 V DC on a three-pin terminal block, with 16-mode software ignition control and a remote switch block for in-vehicle use. TPM 2.0 is onboard, and the VCM-2000A is rated for 50 G shock and 5 Grms vibration, carries CE, FCC and ICES marks and is designed to EN 50155 and EN 50121-3-2 requirements. It mounts on a wall bracket, with optional DIN rail and VESA kits. The VCM-2000 is the 12 V version of the same fanless design, and the VCM-2000AF adds a fan sink for 65 W processors including Intel Core 200S.
