PLink-AI Orin NX product with 4+ USB ports and the highest max operating temp

Asked as: “For a hot outdoor cabinet, I need a PLink-AI product w/ orin nx and 4+ usb ports — which has the highest max operating temp?”

Answered by the Rapidflare agent · graded correct in Rapidbench v0.0.2

The Y-C11 has the highest rating, at 85 °C (range -40 to 85 °C). It supports Jetson Orin NX and has 5 USB ports. It is a carrier board, though, not an enclosed system. If you need a complete enclosed system, the highest rating among the options is 65 °C.

All 13 PLink-AI products that support Jetson Orin NX and have at least 4 USB ports, sorted by maximum operating temperature:

Things to check for a hot cabinet:

  • Y-C11: The 85 °C figure applies to the carrier board on its own. You would add the Orin NX module and your own enclosure and cooling. How the finished assembly performs in your cabinet isn't shown here.
  • Six full systems tie at 65 °C: 11F1E2, Y-C11 - DEV, 11D2E2, 11F2E6, 11F1E6 and ONX16-SYS-2016. To choose between them, use other needs such as Ethernet ports, 5G or how they're cooled.
  • No conditions are attached to these ratings. None of these 13 products lists a condition on its temperature range, such as needing airflow or a certain power mode. Your cabinet's actual internal temperature still needs to stay within whichever rating you choose. Check the datasheets for derating details.
