The Quick Guide to OPS Modules
The Open Pluggable Specification (OPS) is a standardized "plug-and-play" computer system for interactive displays, eliminating messy cables and external PCs.
1. Standards & Sizes
| Standard | Size (mm) | Interface |
|---|---|---|
| Original OPS | 180 x 119 x 30 | 80-pin |
| OPS-C | 180 x 195 x 42 | 80-pin |
| OPS-C+ | Larger | 120-pin |
2. Key Selection Factors
Pins: Most panels use 80-pin. OPS-C+ (120-pin) is mostly for brands like Maxhub/CVT and costs more.
Slot Depth: OPS-C is deeper than the original. Measure your panel's slot depth before buying.
Power: High-end modules (i7/GPU) can draw 220W+. Check if your panel supports more than the standard 120W-150W limit.
OS: Verify if a Windows license is included or if it is a "barebone" unit.
Brand Locks: Some brands require specific BIOS or software. Always confirm compatibility with your representative.
