Contec DX-U2100 vs DX-U2200 — AI TOPS, memory and power input?

Question

Rapidflare · Accepted Answer

Here's the side-by-side for the two Contec systems (both from the Contec DX-U2000 product line, both fanless industrial edge AI computers):

| Spec | DX-U2100 | DX-U2200 |
|------|----------|----------|
| Jetson platform | Jetson Orin Nano | Jetson Orin NX |
| AI performance | 40 TOPS (INT8, sparse) | 100 TOPS (INT8, sparse) |
| FP32 TFLOPS | 1.28 TFLOPS | 1.88 TFLOPS |
| Memory | 8 GB | 16 GB |
| Power input | 9–32 V | 10–32 V |
| JetPack support | 5.1.2 | 5.1.2 |
| Operating temp | -20 to 60 °C (requires airflow, depends on power mode) | -20 to 60 °C (requires airflow, depends on power mode) |

Key differences:

- **AI compute**: The DX-U2200 delivers 100 TOPS vs the DX-U2100's 40 TOPS (both INT8, sparse, per the Orin generation's convention), alongside a higher FP32 figure of 1.88 vs 1.28 TFLOPS.
- **Memory**: 16 GB on the DX-U2200 vs 8 GB on the DX-U2100. - **Power input**: Both are wide-input-range DC systems — 9–32 V for the DX-U2100 and 10–32 V for the DX-U2200, so they're essentially interchangeable on the supply side.

Everything else — I/O (quad GbE, 5 USB ports, CAN, DIO), cooling, dimensions, certifications (CE, FCC Class A, TELEC, UKCA, VCCI Class A) — is identical between the two, so the choice effectively comes down to how much AI throughput and memory your workload needs.
