ESD Warning
Electronic components and circuits are sensitive to
ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). When handling any
circuit board assemblies including Connect Tech
COM Express carrier assemblies, it is recommended
that ESD safety precautions be observed. ESD safe
best practices include, but are not limited to:
•Leaving circuit boards in their antistatic
packaging until they are ready to be installed.
•Using a grounded wrist strap when handling
circuit boards, at a minimum you should touch a
grounded metal object to dissipate any static
charge that may be present on you.
•Only handling circuit boards in ESD safe areas,
which may include ESD floor and table mats,
wrist strap stations and ESD safe lab coats.
•Avoiding handling circuit boards in carpeted
areas.
•Try to handle the board by the edges, avoiding
contact with components.

INTRODUCTION
Connect Tech’s Rogue-X (AGX103) is a full featured NVIDIA® Jetson AGX Xavier™ module carrier board.
This carrier board for AGX Xavier is specifically designed for commercially deployable platforms, and has
an extremely small footprint of 105mm x 105mm.
The Rogue-X provides access to an impressive list of latest generation interfaces on the AGX Xavier while
adding additional interfaces of 3x USB 3.1, 2x GbE, 2x HDMI and a locking Mini-Fit Jr. input power
connector.
Rugged camera add-on expansion boards will also be available for use with the Rogue-X to interface
directly with the AGX Xavier’s high density MIPI CSI interfaces.
Rouge-X builds upon the success of the Rouge by adding the ability to interface to two Ximea xiX
Cameras. xiX is a trademark of Ximea GmbH.
