CS86-BOX-5500U¶
Version 1.0
Product Overview¶
The CS86-BOX-5500U is a rugged, high-quality mountable multifunctional industrial PC without a display. Thanks to the integrated brackets and its light-weight construction, it can be firmly attached to any flat surface, such as industrial cabinets or walls.
CS86-BOX-5500U is powered by the high-performance Intel® Core™ i7 5500U CPU. The CS86-BOX-5500U Industrial Box PC also features a broad range of connectivity options, allowing it to meet even the most demanding requirements in harsh industrial or outdoor environments.
Despite the performances, the offered CPU consumes very little power. From the ground-up, the CPU is built for low power consumption.
A specially designed aluminum alloy housing with fins for increased heat dissipation serves as a passive cooler, eliminating the need for built-in fans. The fan-less design reduces noise, as well as the maintenance costs and efforts, increasing reliability at the same time.
Caution
Be careful when handling the product while it is operating: it might become hot under heavy CPU load.
