Overview The CM5-DUAL-ETH-4G/5G-BASE is a professional dual Ethernet base board engineered for the Rasp-berry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5). It combines high-performance I/O, flexible expansion, and industrial-grade features to accelerate development of networking, multimedia, and edge-compute solutions. Network & Connectivity This base board provides two RJ45 Ethernet ports for reliable wired networking. For projects that require wide-area cellular connectivity, the board includes an M. 2 B-Key socket that supports compatible 4G/5G communication modules (module sold separately). The product describes module compatibility only; any communications module must be procured and configured per local requirements and carrier rules.
Display & Multimedia Drive rich visuals using the boards dual 4K display outputs along with dual MIPI interfaces for camera or panel connections. These interfaces are ideal for digital signage, industrial HMIs, and multi-display deployments that demand high resolution and low latency. Storage & High-Speed I/O The onboard M. 2 NVMe slot delivers significantly faster storage throughput than TF cards, enabling system boot from NVMe SSD and accelerating workloads that require high read/write performance. Two USB 3.2 Gen1 ports provide high-speed peripheral connectivity for external drives, cameras, and USB devices.
Power & Integration The board is PoE ready (requires optional PoE module) for convenient power-over-Ethernet installations. A standard CM5 socket and color-coded 40PIN GPIO header make it compatible with CM5 Lite and eMMC variants and streamline wiring for common peripherals and expansion boards. Industrial-Grade Design Designed with real-world deployments in mind, the base board balances performance and durability. It provides practical features for system integrators: clear connectors and slots (M. 2 B-Key, NVMe, MIPI), robust USB and Ethernet ports, and flexible power options.
