Here's how the Orbbec Femto Bolt and Femto Mega compare on those three points:
| Femto Bolt | Femto Mega | |
|---|---|---|
| Interface | USB 3.2 Type-C | USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C + Gigabit Ethernet |
| PoE support | Not listed in the catalog | Yes — PoE-powered, IEEE 802.3at class |
| Weight | 348 g | 560 g |

Key differences:
- Interface: The Femto Bolt connects over USB 3.2 Type-C only, while the Femto Mega adds Gigabit Ethernet alongside its USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port — which is what enables its network-based deployment.
- PoE: The Femto Mega is PoE-powered (802.3at), so it can receive power and data over a single Ethernet cable. The catalog lists no PoE attribute for the Femto Bolt, so I couldn't verify PoE support for it.
- Weight: The Femto Mega is heavier at 560 g versus the Femto Bolt's 348 g, largely reflecting its integrated design — the Mega is a smart camera with an onboard NVIDIA Jetson Nano, while the Bolt is a standalone iToF depth camera.
If you'd like the same comparison including the Femto Mega I (the ruggedized variant, which also supports PoE at 802.3at), I can extend the table.
