RocketPort uPCI Quad/Octa Card Bulk 50-Pack
The Comtrol RocketPort uPCI Quad/Octa without cable serial port expansion
card is compatible with all current 3.3 and 5.0 Volt PCI bus architectures.
Depending on the serial cable (purchased separately), it provides four or
eight “native” serial ports utilizing a single PCI card slot. The serial ports
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 36MHz 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.
