1.1 Overview
Spectra PowerBox 110 affordable fanless embedded computer is based on the
Intel® Pentium® N4200 / Celeron® N3350 processor. This mainstream Intel®
SoC (Apollo Lake) integrates the Intel® Gen 9 graphics architecture with triple
display support in 4K/2K UHD resolution. Spectra PowerBox 110 supports
both Combined Multiple I/O (CMI) and Control Function Module (CFM) which
are specially designed for flexible I/O and function expandabilities, such as
COM ports, optical isolated digital I/O, LPT/PS2, HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI-D,
VGA, and Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Leveraging a reliable fanless and durable cable-free design in an ultra-
compact aluminum housing, Spectra PowerBox 110 is ideally for deployment
in space-constrained place and continuous operation under harsh
environments.
1.2 Highlights
Triple Displays
Spectra PowerBox 110 offers
enhanced graphics performance to
enable three simultaneous displays
and support 4K/2K UHD resolution.
The third display output can be
added via CMI module and is
available with VGA, DisplayPort,
HDMI, or DVI-D.
Ultra Compact & Powerful Power over Ethernet
By utilizing optional Spectra
Control Function Module (CFM),
the system can add power over
ethernet (PoE+) function with up
to 25.5W per port. It is ideal for
applications like machine vision
or video surveillance.
Spectra PowerBox 110 is powered
by Intel Apollo Lake SoC (up to 4
core, 2.5 GHz) and constructed
with a palm-sized aluminum
housing.
It can be easily installed into a
control cabinet or any other space-
limited environments.
