Highlights

The Latest in 16550 Technology—
From the Inventors of the Multiport Serial Card

   When you find that you have more serial devices than ports, RocketPort 550 offers a quick, cost-

effective solution. Each RocketPort 550 card adds 8 to 16 “native” COM ports to your PC or rack

mount server using only a single PCI slot. The Comtrol RocketPort 550 family of multiport cards

makes serial connectivity more powerful, reliable, easier to use. RocketPort 550 performance

capabilities make it ideal for peripheral control applications such as data acquisition, point-of-sale,

and factory-floor automation, as well as remote network access and Internet access. 

The RocketPort 550 family delivers traditional RocketPort performance and reliability in a 16550

UART-based serial card, for seamless integration with your off-the-shelf or custom software programs.

By utilizing a state-of-the-art serial I/O ASIC, the RocketPort 550 provides an affordable serial

expansion solution that delivers the highest performance and reliability through industry-standard

16550 UART technology. The product is fully compliant with the RoHS directive 2002/95/EC.
