Orin NX box PC with the largest total PoE power budget

Asked as: “Which Orin NX box PC gives the biggest total PoE power budget? We're powering PTZ cameras off it.”

Answered by the Rapidflare agent

The Advantech MIC-712P-OX has the largest total PoE budget of the Orin NX box PCs I found: 150 W across 6 PoE ports. It also has 2 more GbE ports without PoE and takes 19–36 VDC input. advantech...advantech.com ↗“2x GbE + 6x GbE PoE (150W budget), HDMI, 4x USB 3.2, 19-36VDC”

The other Orin NX box PCs that list a PoE budget are all at 30 W. These include the NEXCOM ATC 3540/3560/3561 models, the Advantech TREK-60N and the Aetina AIE-CN33/CN43 units. advantech... +1advantech.com ↗“four PoE ports share a published 30W output budget”aetina.com ↗“2x GbE PoE PSE (802.3af, 30W total)”

Things to check for PTZ cameras:

  • How power is shared per port: Each figure above is a total shared across all PoE ports. I couldn't find per-port power limits for these models. For both Advantech units I also couldn't find which PoE standard (802.3af/at) they support. PTZ cameras with heaters or IR often draw more than standard PoE, so check the datasheet: MIC-712P-OX datasheet.
  • Operating conditions: The MIC-712P-OX is rated for –25 to 70 °C. That range only holds with airflow, and it depends on the power mode. The MIC-717-OX is rated for 0 to 50 °C and needs 54 V input. If you're installing outdoors or in vehicles, the NEXCOM ATC 3563 (120 W, fanless, 9–36 V or 24 V rail input, EN 50155) may suit better. advantech... +2advantech.com ↗“thermal.max_operating_temp_c=70 °C, thermal.min_operating_temp_c=-25 °C, thermal.operating_temp_condition=Requires airflow, Depends on power mode”advantech.com ↗“power.power_input=54-54 V”nexcom.com ↗“Fanless in-vehicle and railway edge AI computer”
  • Models left out: Some Orin NX box PCs with PoE don't publish a total PoE budget, so I couldn't rank them. This ranking only covers models with a stated figure.
