Here's the side-by-side comparison for a PoE camera hub:
| Attribute | BOXER-8646AI | BOXER-8658AI |
|---|---|---|
| Ethernet ports (total) | 14 | 10 |
| PoE ports | 12 | 8 (PoE/PSE) |
| Fastest Ethernet speed | 10GbE | 1GbE |
| Supported Jetson family | Jetson AGX Orin | Jetson Orin NX |
| Max AI performance | 200 TOPS | 100 TOPS (157 TOPS in Super mode) |
| PoE class | 802.3af, 802.3at | 802.3af, 802.3at |
| Lifecycle status | EOL | Not listed |
BOXER-8646AI: 14 Ethernet ports with 12 of them PoE (802.3af/802.3at), and its fastest Ethernet runs at 10GbE. It runs on the Jetson AGX Orin family, with up to 200 TOPS INT8 (sparse) and 5.32 TFLOPS FP32. Note its lifecycle status is EOL in the catalog. aaeon.com +6aaeon.com ↗“12x PoE + 10G LAN”aaeon.com ↗“io.ethernet_ports=14, io.poe_port_count=12”aaeon.com ↗“io.max_ethernet_speed=10GbE”aaeon.com ↗“supported_jetson_families=Jetson AGX Orin”aaeon.com ↗“performance.max_ai_tops=200 TOPS”aaeon.com ↗“max_fp32_tflops=5.32 TFLOPS”aaeon.com ↗“identity.lifecycle_status=EOL”
BOXER-8658AI: 10 Ethernet ports with 8 of them PoE (802.3af/802.3at), and its fastest Ethernet is 1GbE. It runs on the Jetson Orin NX family, rated 100 TOPS INT8 (sparse) in default mode and 157 TOPS in Super mode, with 1.88 / 2.4 TFLOPS FP32 in default / Super mode. aaeon.com +6aaeon.com ↗“8x GbE PoE/PSE, 2x GbE”aaeon.com ↗“io.ethernet_ports=10, io.poe_port_count=8”aaeon.com ↗“io.max_ethernet_speed=1GbE”aaeon.com ↗“supported_jetson_families=Jetson Orin NX”aaeon.com ↗“performance.max_ai_tops=100 TOPS”aaeon.com ↗“max_ai_tops_super=157 TOPS”aaeon.com ↗“max_fp32_tflops=1.88 TFLOPS”
For a PoE camera hub specifically, the BOXER-8646AI is the stronger fit on paper — 4 more PoE camera ports and 10GbE uplink for aggregating camera streams — but it is flagged EOL, while the BOXER-8658AI is an in-vehicle-oriented system (E-Mark, 9–36V ignition-delay input) and supports a newer JetPack (6.0 vs 5.0.x). aaeon.com +2aaeon.com ↗“9V to 36V ignition-delay input, GNSS, E-Mark; for in-vehicle use”aaeon.com ↗“jetpack_version_support=6.0”aaeon.com ↗“jetpack_version_support=5.0, 5.0.2”
