Here's the comparison between the Vecow EAC-5000-R32/R64 and EAC-5100-R32/R64 (the R32/R64 suffix is just the 32 GB/64 GB Jetson AGX Orin memory SKU — the I/O is identical across both memory variants of each model):
| Feature | EAC-5000-R32/R64 | EAC-5100-R32/R64 |
|---|---|---|
| Ethernet ports (GbE) | 2 | 6 |
| PoE ports | 0 (no PoE) | 4 (PoE+) |
| Digital I/O | 16 isolated DIO (8 DI / 8 DO) | 16 isolated DIO (8 DI / 8 DO) |
Summary of the differences:
- Ethernet ports: The EAC-5100 has 6 Gigabit Ethernet ports versus 2 on the EAC-5000 — four more LAN connections for multi-camera or multi-device deployments. vecow.com +1vecow.com ↗“io.ethernet_ports=2”vecow.com ↗“io.ethernet_ports=6”
- PoE ports: The EAC-5000 has no PoE support (0 PoE ports), while the EAC-5100 provides 4 PoE+ ports for powering cameras or other peripherals directly over the network. vecow.com +1vecow.com ↗“io.poe_port_count=0”vecow.com ↗“GbE/PoE+”
- Digital I/O: Both models are identical here — 16 isolated DIO channels, split as 8 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs. vecow.com +1vecow.com ↗“io.dio_channel_count=16”vecow.com ↗“io.digital_input_count=8, io.digital_output_count=8”
So the EAC-5100 is the choice when you need PoE-powered camera connections and more LAN ports; on digital I/O the two are equivalent.
