RocketPort uPCI Octa DB9
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.
