Compulab FACE Module FM-USB3 – High-Speed USB 3.0 Expansion for fitlet® Systems

The Compulab FM-USB3 FACE Module adds high-speed USB 3.0 connectivity to compatible fitlet® industrial PCs, making it possible to connect bandwidth-demanding peripherals in a fully integrated and industrial-grade form factor.

Installed directly in the system’s FACE slot, the module becomes part of the fanless and cable-free platform design. This ensures maximum mechanical reliability while eliminating the need for external hubs or adapters – a key advantage in edge and embedded deployments where stability and long service intervals are required.

With USB 3.0 SuperSpeed performance, the FM-USB3 is ideal for applications that rely on fast data transfer, such as high-resolution cameras, external SSD storage, data acquisition equipment, machine vision devices, and advanced HMI solutions. It enables the fitlet® platform to handle data-intensive workloads locally at the edge without compromising the compact system footprint.

The module is fully supported in both Linux and Windows IoT environments, where native high-speed USB interfaces are essential for modern edge computing, AI-based vision systems, and industrial automation.
