Why TL500CA

Four arguments for the board that’s been proven

Memory

DDR4 keeps cost down

DDR4-3200 SO-DIMMs to 64 GB, mature pricing and wide availability where DDR5 bandwidth isn’t the bottleneck.

Modules

MiniPCIe for 3G/4G

A MiniPCIe slot carrying PCIe and USB 2.0 hosts Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G modules directly, no adapter board needed.

Display

HDMI + MiniDP dual

HDMI 2.0 and MiniDP (DP++ for simple adapters) run synchronous or asynchronous dual display up to 4K.

Storage

Short M.2 2242

The NVMe M.2 2242 slot keeps the board compact, and an onboard SATA 3.0 port adds a second drive with 2-pin 5V power.

Where It Fits

Gateways, appliances and signage

The TL500CA covers the classic NUC jobs: a small board, two fast LAN ports and enough I/O to hang peripherals off. Typical placements: The TL500CA has been through enough field use that the integration surprises are mostly already found, which is precisely the point of this board.

01Network security appliances

dual Intel 2.5G LAN gives WAN/DMZ/LAN separation in a 100 mm board that fits a shoebox chassis.

02IoT and comms gateways

the MiniPCIe slot hosts Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G modules for sites without fixed broadband.

03Signage and kiosk fallback

HDMI plus MiniDP with DP++ drives two screens, synchronous or independent, in retail and self-service equipment.
