V7‑5500UC | EGLOBAL Fanless Mini PC with Native RS232 Ports for Industrial Use

Many customers for industrial projects raise common requirements for mini PCs: fan‑less silent operation, 24/7 non‑stop running, and native RS232 serial ports for legacy industrial hardware connection. They also frequently inquire about real‑world power consumption, storage capacity, environmental tolerance and interface distinctions. The V7‑5500UC, an EGLOBAL mini PC, addresses these pain points comprehensively.

Equipped with an onboard Intel Core i7‑5500U dual‑core four‑thread processor, it runs at a base frequency of 2.4 GHz with a max turbo frequency of 3.0 GHz. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 5500 enables 4K high‑definition playback. Compared with the standard V7‑5500U model, the V7‑5500UC features two native RS232 COM ports. No extra USB‑to‑serial adapters are required, allowing direct connection to PLCs, sensors and other serial‑based industrial devices — this is the key advantage of the UC‑suffix variant.

It is important to distinguish between nominal TDP and actual power draw. While the nominal TDP is 15 W, the maximum real‑world power consumption under full load is only 8.7 W. The low‑power design supports long‑term continuous operation with energy efficiency. Built with a brushed black full‑aluminum‑alloy chassis, this fan‑less mini PC operates completely silently. It eliminates fan‑caused failures from dust accumulation and supports round‑the‑clock operation. Measuring 210 × 170 × 45 mm with a net weight of 1.8 kg, it can stand freely or be VESA‑mounted on the back of a monitor or wall to conserve workspace.

In terms of I/O interfaces, it comes with dual Gigabit RJ45 LAN ports, an SD card reader, optical audio port, as well as microphone and speaker audio jacks. A built‑in SIM slot supports optional 3G/4G module installation. Two mini‑PCIE slots are available: the half‑height slot is for WiFi modules, and the full‑height slot accommodates WiFi or 4G modules. Paired with 2 RF antennas, it delivers flexible wired and wireless connectivity options.

Storage expansion is a major highlight. It supports simultaneous installation of two mSATA SSDs plus one 2.5‑inch SATA HDD/SSD. Both mSATA and SATA ports adopt SATA 3.0 standard with up to 6 Gb/s bandwidth, balancing high‑speed performance and large‑capacity storage needs. Dual HDMI 1.4 ports enable synchronous dual‑display output, ideal for multi‑screen monitoring and multi‑window office workflows.

For environmental adaptability, its operating temperature ranges from 0 °C to 70 °C, storage temperature from ‑20 °C to 80 °C, and humidity tolerance is 0‑90 % non‑condensing, suited for industrial sites with fluctuating temperature conditions. WiFi antennas, HDMI cable, user manual and VESA mounting bracket are optional accessories upon request.

If your application requires serial‑port communication, reliable non‑stop performance and rich multi‑port & multi‑drive expansion, the EGLOBAL mini PC V7‑5500UC delivers a solid solution for both general office and industrial hardware interfacing scenarios.
