PoE Powered Mini PCs: What the Thinvent Range Offers
A PoE powered mini PC receives its operating power over the same Ethernet cable that carries its network data. The Thinvent range does not include a model that is powered by PoE. Each listed mini PC runs from a dedicated DC adapter: a 5V 2A adapter for the Micro 6 Pro, and a 12V 5A adapter for the Treo Mini PC. If your installation uses PoE switches or injectors, you need a separate power path or a PoE-to-DC converter for these units.
Key Specifications
The Thinvent Micro 6 Pro Mini PC uses an ARM Cortex A55 processor with 4 cores, up to 1.9 GHz and 1 MB cache. It includes 4 GB onboard RAM, 32 GB eMMC storage, dual antenna WiFi, one HDMI output and Thinux embedded Linux.
The Thinvent Treo Mini PC uses an Intel Celeron N5095A processor from the 11th generation, with 4 cores, up to 2.9 GHz and 4 MB cache. It includes 16 GB DDR4 RAM and 1 TB SSD storage. It has no WiFi. It runs Windows 11 IoT or Windows 11 Pro, depending on the model.
Typical Applications
The Micro 6 Pro suits digital signage, kiosks, machine interfaces and other small embedded displays that run Linux. Its low power draw and small size fit installations where space and cooling are limited.
The Treo Mini PC suits point-of-sale terminals, office and light industrial computing, and Windows-based control tasks that need more memory and storage.
