IGX Thor options: how do the Advantech MIC-735-IT and ADLINK DLAP-IGX compare on SFP ports, Ethernet port count and memory?

Question

Rapidflare · Accepted Answer

Here's how the two IGX Thor systems compare on the attributes you asked about:

| | Advantech MIC-735-IT | ADLINK DLAP-IGX |
|---|---|---|
| **SFP ports** | 4 × SFP28 10GbE | 2 (dual 200GbE) |
| **Ethernet ports** | 1 (plus the 4 SFP28 10GbE and 5GbE) | 2 |
| **Memory** | 128 GB | 128 GB LPDDR5X |

**Key differences:**

- **SFP connectivity:** The Advantech MIC-735-IT offers 4 SFP28 ports at 10GbE , while the ADLINK DLAP-IGX has 2 SFP ports supporting dual 200GbE — fewer ports, but each running at a much higher rate.
- **Ethernet port count:** The MIC-735-IT lists 1 Ethernet port in addition to its SFP-based networking , whereas the DLAP-IGX lists 2 .
- **Memory:** Both systems carry 128 GB of memory , so memory capacity is not a differentiator here.

One other distinction worth noting since you're weighing IGX Thor options: the MIC-735-IT is built on the IGX Thor T5000 module (up to 2070 FP4 TFLOPS), while the DLAP-IGX uses the higher-tier IGX T7000 module .

In short: choose the **MIC-735-IT** if you need more SFP ports for multi-camera or multi-link 10GbE networking; choose the **DLAP-IGX** if you prefer fewer but higher-bandwidth 200GbE links, more base Ethernet ports, and the T7000 module.
