Hello,

for an automotive use case i search for the smallest PC with modern Hardware (12th Gen, Ryzen 5000) (~45W - 65W) and at least 6 Gbit Lan Ports RJ-45. The power supply will be an M2-ATX from Mini-Box, this will be mounted somewhere in case.

From my search i didn't find any motherbaord with more than two Lan ports. My idea is, to use a PCIe 4x Gbit Lan Card (Full hight) or an M.2 adapter to 4x Gbit Lan with two seperate low profile Slots.

So, i do not need an extra space for an Flex PSU. But space for PCIe Slot(s). I should be commercialy available in EU.

Maybe there is an solution that i am not aware of...

What case would be suitable? I search for the smallest solution. If it is flat or cubic, doesn't matter at the moment.

Thanks for your help!

There a bunch of boards and systems on AliExpress with multiple ethernet jacks, just depends on how much horsepower you need! (Integrated CPU mostly)


SuperMicro has a couple of 4 port boards that may suit your needs once you throw in a card.

The Q I have is - why so much ethernet in a carPC?
