Data & Network Interconnect
- •
Stacked Data Link: 10 Gbps Pogo Connector
USB 3.2 Gen 2 via 12-pin pogo for layer activations between stacked devices
- •
Network Discovery: Wi-Fi 6E
Wireless mesh with up to 2.4 Gbps throughput for cluster coordination
- •
Alternative: 2.5GbE Ethernet
Use external switch for wired clustering with lower latency
- •
Discovery Protocol
NFC handshake + mDNS (_thox-cluster._tcp.local) for automatic peer detection
How it works: As devices approach, NFC antennas detect proximity and initiate handshake. N52 magnets self-align with sub-millimeter precision, then the 12-pin pogo connector establishes a 10 Gbps data link. The cluster elects a leader (external power → highest capacity → lowest UUID) and partitions AI models across devices using pipeline parallelism. Total formation time: ~10 seconds.
Thermal Management
Thox.ai features an intelligent thermal management system with passive and active cooling.
Cooling System
- •Aluminum heatsink with thermal compound interface
- •Low-noise 40mm fan (15-25 dBA at typical load)
- •Dynamic fan speed based on workload and temperature
Temperature Thresholds
Note: If the device frequently reaches throttling temperatures, ensure proper ventilation and consider using the included mounting kit to position the device vertically.
