Introduction
The RocketPort Universal PCI (uPCI) controllers are designed
for use in PC's with 3.3 and 5.0 volt 32 Bit PCI bus architectures (PCI & PCI-x),
and are available in 4, 8, 16 & 32 port versions. The
controllers may also be used in PC's equipped with the 64
Bit 66Mhz PCI bus.
Comtrol offers Quadcable and Octacable
solutions, which have RS-232 fan out cables terminated with
DB25 Male or DB9 Male connectors. An Octacable version terminated
with RJ45 connectors is also available.
Our RocketPort Universal PCI 8 port controller
is a low profile/half height controller, so it can be installed
in modern low profile PC's equipped with 3.3V PCI bus slots.
This product can be used with any of our external interfaces.
The Rocketport uPCI 16 and 32 port controllers are full height
controller cards and can again be used with any of our external
interfaces.
Features and benefits:
- Supports 3.3 and 5.0 volt PCI bus architectures,
ensuring compatibility regardless of the host environment
- Supports most popular operating systems
- Supports RS-232 and RS-422 serial interfaces
(model dependent)
- Both fan-out cables and serial interface
boxes available, supporting DB9, DB25, and RJ45
- Up to 32 COM ports can be added using a single
slot
- Highly optimized on-board processor delivers
sustained throughput across all ports
- Large FIFOs, 64 times larger than a 16550
UART, maximize speed and minimize data loss while optimizing
host efficiency and data integrity
- RocketPort technology delivers exceptional
reliability and one of the industry’s longest Mean
Times Between Failure (MTBF)
- Device driver support for Windows XP,2000,2003,NT,LINUX,SCO
OpenServer,QNX, Free BSD
