Here's the side-by-side comparison of the two Advantech Edge AI Box PCs on the attributes you asked about:
| Attribute | MIC-741-AT | MIC-742-AT |
|---|---|---|
| Ethernet ports | 4 (up to 25GbE) | 1 (up to 25GbE) |
| Weight | 4420 g | 3000 g |
| Mounting options | Desktop, Wall mount | Wall mount, DIN rail |
Key differences:
- Ethernet: The MIC-741-AT offers 4 Ethernet ports versus 1 on the MIC-742-AT; both support up to 25GbE. Note that the MIC-742-AT also has 1 SFP port, which the MIC-741-AT does not list. advantech... +1advantech.com ↗“io.ethernet_ports=4, io.max_ethernet_speed=25GbE”advantech.com ↗“io.ethernet_ports=1, io.sfp_ports=1, io.max_ethernet_speed=25GbE”
- Weight: The MIC-742-AT is the lighter unit at 3000 g, while the MIC-741-AT weighs 4420 g. advantech... +1advantech.com ↗“mechanical.weight_g=4420 g”advantech.com ↗“mechanical.weight_g=3000 g”
