Connect Tech TX2 carrier board with 4 PoE ports

Asked as: “Which Connect Tech TX2 carrier has 4 PoE ports? Legacy multi-camera install.”

Answered by the Rapidflare agent

The Connect Tech carrier you want is the Cogswell Carrier for Jetson TX2/TX2i (ASG007). It was the only Connect Tech TX2 carrier I could confirm with 4 PoE ports. It's designed for GigE Vision cameras, which suits a multi-camera setup. connecttec...connecttech.com ↗“Connect Tech carrier board for NVIDIA Jetson TX2/TX2i built for GigE Vision”

AttributeValue
Supported modulesJetson TX2, Jetson TX2i
Ethernet5x Gigabit Ethernet
PoE4x PoE (IEEE 802.3af) or 2x PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at)
Power input+12 V DC only. No external 48 V needed because the board makes its own PoE power
Operating temperature-40 to +85 °C. This is the board's own rating; TX2 modules are rated -25 to +80 °C at the thermal plate
JetPack support3.0 to 4.6.5
Lifecycle statusEnd-of-life (EOL)

What this means for your install:

  • Camera power: You get 4 PoE ports only if each camera stays within 802.3af limits. Cameras that need 802.3at (PoE+) cut you to 2 powered ports.
  • Availability: The board is end-of-life. For a legacy setup, check that you can still get boards or spares before you commit.
  • Other options: Many carrier boards in the catalog don't list a PoE port count. Another Connect Tech TX2 carrier with PoE could exist, but I could only confirm it for the Cogswell.

Connect Tech has more detail on the product page and in the datasheet. connecttec...connecttech.com ↗“cta.datasheet=”
