Vision accelerator or interface cards that can supply PoE to cameras

Asked as: “PC-hosted inspection cell with several PoE cameras: which vision accelerator or interface cards can supply PoE to the cameras?”

Answered by the Rapidflare agent

Two cards in our Vision Accelerator & Interface Cards range can power cameras over PoE. Both are PCIe cards with a Jetson module on board:

What this means for your cell:

  • PCIe-NX154PoE: This is the better fit if you have "several" cameras. It powers up to 4 cameras from a shared 50 W budget, so check that your cameras' combined draw stays under 50 W. Its temperature range only holds with airflow, and it also depends on power mode and the peripherals installed. neousys-te... +2neousys-tech.com ↗“io.poe_port_count=4”neousys-tech.com ↗“power.poe_total_budget_w=50 W”neousys-tech.com ↗“Requires airflow, Depends on power mode”
  • LIPSedge F110 AGX-Xavier: It has 2 PoE+ ports, and LIPS describes them as being for LIPSedge 3D cameras. If you plan to use other cameras, check compatibility with LIPS first. lips-hci.comlips-hci.com ↗“2x 2.5GbE PoE+ ports for LIPSedge 3D cameras”
  • Performance figures: The two TOPS numbers aren't directly comparable. The Orin NX figure is sparse INT8, and Xavier-generation figures are dense INT8. None of the other four cards in this range list PoE. They take cameras over other links: neousys-te...neousys-tech.com ↗“INT8 TOPS (sparse, Base)”
