Universal PCI cards suit most any application. Output can be RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485. Use RS-422 to extend range, RS-485 to extend range and provide multi-drop ability. Optically isolated versions offer true 2000 VDC isolation and port-to-port isolation. Compare B&B Electronics cards to others– B&B Electronics’ premium optical isolation zone along with optocouplers and our unique isolated DC-DC converter design protect your PCs from voltage surges and ground loops.
DB9M connectors offer positive thumbscrew locking, more robust than phone jack connectors. Four and eight port models include fanout cables. The eight port model has four RS- 232/422/485 and four RS-232 ports. Four port isolated model 3PCIOU4 has two RS-232/422/485 ports and two RS-422/485 ports. All models support baud rates up to 460.8 kbps. Windows 98, ME, NT4.0, 2000, XP, Vista, 7 and Linux 2.4.x supported.
