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.

• 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 plub-and-play compatibility
• Multi-port serial expansion using a single slot -- maximizes host expansion capabilities; adds additional COM ports using only one slot
• Serial port expansion untilizing a single PCI slot -- delivers large scale serial port expansion
• On-board dedicated 44MHz RISC processor -- minimizes "host" CPU utilization
• RS-232 communications support -- enables transmit-and-receive speeds up to 460 Kbps
• Edge-mounted serial ports -- provides cost-effective, compact serial connections
• Transmit buffer 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
