NUC PoE Powers 4 HD Monitors at Once

Sept. 19, 2023
Thinlabs' industrial Power over Ethernet fanless computer allows users to power 4 HD monitors at once through a single Ethernet cable.

A unique computing solution that uses 802.3bt PoE++ (Power-over-Ethernet) technology, the Thinlabs PoE NUC allows for up to 4 HD displays to be powered over a single Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for electrical outlets or power backups.

 

At the heart of the computer lies a motherboard developed by SAPPHIRE, featuring the AMD Ryzen Embedded V2000 series processor. This processor with an efficient Zen 2 x86 CPU and Radeon Graphics core offers versatility, low power, and high performance. The AMD Ryzen flagship model, V2718, features an 8-core/16-thread CPU with 7 integrated Radeon Graphics Compute Units.

 

The solution is equipped with the advanced 802.3bt PoE++ (PoE++ Type 4) technology to enable a seamless supply of up to 90 W of power through a standard Cat 6 Ethernet cable. This simplifies deployment significantly, eliminating the need for a certified electrician to install an electrical outlet wherever the PC and monitors are required. Instead, a single Ethernet cable up to (100 m) in length can be used to provide data and power to the complete system.

 

In addition, it can effectively replace larger PCs across various tasks. Its extensive connectivity options and the ability for users to replace RAM and storage contribute to this versatility. The volatile memory can be configured up to 64 GB of DDR4 SO-DIMM, and supported SSDs can reach capacities of up to 2 TB in the M.2 2280 form factor.
