Shuttle Announces Fanless 3-litre PC

Shuttle is offering a fanless barebone PC in a versatile 3-litre format. Under the name XC60J, the range of the mini PC manufacturer now adds a 7 cm tall mini PC with an Intel Celeron J3355 dual-core processor (2 GHz) in 14 nm architecture.

The virtually silent platform, which is suitable for constant operation (24/7) at an ambient temperature of up to 40 °C, boasts a total of eight serial interfaces (8x RS-232, one of which can be switched to RS-422/RS-485) as its key spec and is therefore aimed at the areas of automation, POS, industry and machine control in which USB or IP-based transmission will not apply.

• Fanless Apollo Lake platform
• 8 serial interfaces
• Suitable for 3.5 inch hard disks

Its robust steel chassis houses the mainboard with an Intel Celeron processor (Apollo Lake) and Intel HD Graphics 500. Up to 8 GB of DDR3L memory and a 3.5" hard disk or 2.5" SSD can be installed as desired. The two free M.2 slots (1x M.2-2280 and 1x M.2-2230) can be used, for example, for an NVMe SSD and a WLAN module. Front and back panel reveal 1x HDMI, 1x VGA, 2x USB 3.0, 4x USB 2.0, Gigabit Ethernet, audio connections and the mentioned eight serial interfaces.

Instant system start-up, once power is applied, can be forced by setting a jumper. This is ideal, for example, if the machine is installed in a remote and difficult to access place or if there is a power outage. The actual power supply is 19 V. Alternatively, the XC60J can also be operated at 12 V.

Optionally available accessories include a stand (PS01), VESA mount/wall mount (PV02) and WLAN kit (WLN-M). The recommended retail price from Shuttle for the XC60J is EUR 192.00 (excluding VAT). More information?, visit the product page.
