Overview
The CM5-DUAL-ETH-MINI is a high-performance carrier board designed explicitly for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5), offering unmatched flexibility
for industrial automation, IoT gateways, and edge computing solutions. Engineered with dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, this baseboard ensures ultra-fast network
throughput, making it perfect for building routers, firewalls, or network-attached storage (NAS) systems.
Key Features & Applications
Dual Gigabit Ethernet & USB 3.0 – Achieve wired network redundancy or parallel data processing with dual RJ45 ports and a USB 3.2 Gen1 interface for peripherals like storage or sensors.
Seamless CM5 Integration – Utilizes the standard CM5 socket and 40-pin GPIO header, ensuring compatibility with all CM5 variants (including Lite/eMMC) for easy upgrades from CM4-based setups.
Industrial-Grade Durability – Compact design withstands vibrations and temperature fluctuations, while the 5V Type-C power input supports stable operation in demanding environments.
Advanced Thermal Control – Pre-configured fan headers allow dynamic speed adjustment based on temperature thresholds, preventing overheating during prolonged workloads.
