Comtrol RocketPort Universal PCI Octa DB9 99342-1 Folheto

Part number 993421

RocketPort uPCI Connectivity

The RocketPort uPCI Octa/DB9 serial port expansion card is compatible

with all current 3.3 and 5.0 Volt PCI bus architectures. It provides eight

“native” serial ports utilizing a single 32- or 64-bit PCI card slot. The serial

ports with DB9 connectors support RS-232 serial communications at

speeds up to 460 Kbps. RocketPort products are designed with larger

transmit-and-receive buffers than those available in a standard 16550

UART found in standard PC serial ports and low-end serial cards, enabling

them to handle the transmission of large amounts of data reliably and

efficiently. They also utilize an on-board 36MHz processor, minimizing host

CPU utilization. RocketPort products do not require the assignment of

interrupts, simplifying installation and eliminating conflicts with other

server cards. Drivers are available for popular operating systems.

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

• RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC compliant

• Universal PCI design supporting 3.3

and 5.0 Volt PCI bus architectures—
ensures compatibility with all current
PCI bus architectures

• I/O mapping capabilities—simplifies

installation, eliminates memory conflicts,
and enables plug-and-play compatibility 

• Multiport serial expansion using a single

slot—DB9 fan-out octacable provides
cost-effective, compact and flexible
serial connections

• On-board dedicated 36MHz RISC

processor—minimizes "host" CPU
utilization 

• RS-232 communications support—

enables transmit-and-receive speeds
up to 460 Kbps 

• Transmit buffers 16 times larger, and

receive buffers 64 times larger than a
16550 UART—helps ensure smooth,
efficient data transfer 

• Robust driver support—enables card

to work seamlessly with popular
operating systems
