The AFL-26/42A-9652 is a large screen panel PC. There are 26” and 42” models. Both are

supply, contained inside the casing allowing a completely interactive panel PC with only a
single power cable. External devices are connected wirelessly through Bluetooth
technology and network access is enabled through a “draft n” wireless adapter. Wired
options are always available on the rear panel, with two serial ports and four USB ports for
peripherals and two Gigabit Ethernet slots for networking.
