| The BlueStorm/Express family offers reliable,
high speed data transfer for your PCI Express
system.
These x1 lane, standard profile PCI Express
serial cards offer 2, 4, 8 or 16 ports of RS-
232/422/485 connectivity, compatible with
any PCI Express slot.
Bidirectional data speeds up to 1.8432 Mbps
(RS-422/485) ensure your data acquisition,
office automation, POS, self-service kiosk or
scientific/instrumentation applications communicate
in a reliable, cost-effective manner.
The Connect Tech BlueStorm/Express cards
are compatible with x1, x4, x8 and x16 lane PCI
Express slots. Upgrading a PCI system to the
more efficeint PCI Express requires a hardware
