RocketPort uPCI 4J
The Comtrol RocketPort uPCI 4J serial port expansion card provides
four “native” serial ports utilizing a single PCI card slot and is compatible
with all current 3.3 and 5.0 Volt PCI bus architectures. The RJ45
serial ports, mounted on the edge of the card, support RS-232 serial
communications at speeds up to 460 Kbps. Every RocketPort serial
card features the high-performance RocketPort ASIC chip, consisting of
a dedicated 44MHz processor that minimizes host CPU utilization and
larger transmit-and-receive buffers than those of 16550 UART chips
used in standard PC serial ports and low-end serial cards.

RocketPort ASIC technology enables these cards to outperform other
serial expansion cards by handling the transmission of large amounts
of data more reliably and efficiently. Additionally, RocketPort products
do not require the assignment of interrupts, simplifying installation
and eliminating conflicts with other server cards. The product is fully
compliant with the RoHS directive 2002/95/EC.
