Product OverviewThe NRU-160-FT is a Jetson Orin™ NX/Orin™ Nano Edge-AI computer with a flat-top heatsink, optimized for conduction cooling when installed in waterproof enclosures for smart agriculture, dustproof cabinets for factories, roadside junction boxes, or robot chassis for outdoor AMRs.Powered by NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX/Orin™ Nano, the NRU-160-FT series delivers up to 100 Sparse TOPS (INT8) of AI inference performance and can transcode up to eighteen 1080p video streams simultaneously with only 25W power consumption. Designed for connecting a variety of cameras and sensors for autonomy, ADAS, or AI inspection, it is available in two models: NRU-161V-FT, supporting six GMSL2 automotive cameras with pre-installed drivers for selected IMX390, ISX031, and IMX490 CMOS sensors; and NRU-162S-FT, offering four PoE+ GbE ports for IP or industrial GigE cameras. An additional M12 GbE port is provided for data transfer to other computers or LiDAR.The NRU-160-FT is designed for edge deployment in cabinets or robots, especially in mobile applications. Its flat-top heatsink not only uses the metal enclosure as a heatsink extension but also allows the NRU-160-FT to operate at outdoor cabinet temperatures typically 10–15°C lower than internal cabinet temperatures, while its compact, flat form factor of 199 × 136 × 49 mm is ideal for space-constrained environments. All M12 and FAKRA connectors provide reliable shock and vibration resistance. The system supports a wide DC input range of 8–35V, ignition power control, a CAN-FD bus port, and an RS-232 port. It also features a mini-PCIe socket for CAN/COM/Wi-Fi modules and an M.2 B-Key socket for 4G LTE/5G NR mobile communication modules.The integration of the flat-top heatsink, Orin™ NX/Orin™ Nano AI performance, and versatile onboard camera interfaces creates a balanced solution of ruggedness, performance, and cost. It is a ready-to-deploy edge AI platform designed for mounting on the inner wall of a sealed cabinet for smart agriculture, mining, construction, roadside applications, and edge inspection.Key FeaturesPowered by NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX or Orin™ Nano SoM (System-on-Module) with JetPack bundle199×136×49 mm flat design with flat-top heatsinkFanless operation from -25°C to 70°C (no throttling at 70°C in 25W TDP mode)Supports 6x GMSL2 automotive cameras via FAKRA Z connectors (NRU-161V-FT)4x PoE+ GbE via M12 X-coded connectors (NRU-162S-FT)1x CAN FD and 1x RS232 via M12 A-coded connectors8V to 35V wide-range DC inputCompatible GMSL2 cameras with pre-installed driversTechnical SpecificationsProcessor: NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX or Orin™ Nano SoM (Ampere GPU + ARM Cortex CPU)Memory: 16GB/8GB LPDDR5 @ 3200 MHz (Orin NX), 8GB/4GB LPDDR5 @ 2133 MHz (Orin Nano)GMSL2: (NRU-161V-FT) 6x GMSL2 FAKRA Z connectors, supporting multiple configurations:6x AC-IMX390 (2MP@30FPS)6x AC-ISX031 (3MP@30FPS)4x AC-IMX490 (5MP@30FPS)Ethernet: (NRU-161V-FT) 1x GbE via M12 X-coded 8-pin; (NRU-162S-FT) 1x GbE + 4x GbE (Intel® I350-AM4) via M12 X-coded 8-pinPoE+: (NRU-162S-FT) IEEE 802.3at PoE+ PSE for Port 1-4, 50W total power budgetUSB: 2x USB 2.0 via M12 A-coded 8-pin, 1x USB Type CVideo: 1x VGA (1920x1080@60Hz) via M12 A-coded 17-pinSerial: 1x RS-232 via M12 A-coded 8-pinCAN bus: 1x CAN FD via M12 A-coded 8-pinIsolated DIO: 1x isolated GPS PPS input via M12 A-coded 8-pinInternal I/O: 1x full-size mini PCIe, 1x M.2 3042/3052 B key (USB 3.2 Gen1 + USB 2.0) for LTE/5G module with dual micro SIM supportStorage: 1x M.2 2242 M key (PCIe Gen 3x1) for NVMe SSDPower: 8V to 35V DC input and ignition power control via M12 A-coded, 5-pinDimensions: 199 mm (W) x 136 mm (D) x 49 mm (H)Weight: 1.5 kgMounting: Wall-mount (standard, bracket integrated)Operating Temperature: -25°C to 70°C with passive cooling (25W TDP mode), non-throttling at 70°CStorage Temperature: -40°C to 85°CHumidity: 10% to 90%, non-condensingVibration: MIL-STD-810H, Method 514.8, Category 4Shock: MIL-STD-810H, Method 516.8, Procedure IEMC: CE/FCC Class A, EN 55032 & EN 55035Ordering InformationNRU-161V-FT: NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX/Nano fanless flat-top heatsink Edge AI computer with 6x GMSL2NRU-162S-FT: NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX/Nano fanless flat-top heatsink Edge AI computer with 4x PoE+ GbEJetson Module Options: Various Jetson Orin™ NX and Jetson Orin™ Nano SKUsNVMe Options: Various capacities of M.2 2242 NVMe storageOptional AccessoriesGMSL2 Cameras: Compatible with a wide range of GMSL2 2D and 3D cameras with pre-installed drivers, including TIER IV, e-con, StereoLabs, Intel RealSense.
