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 8 or 16 ports of RS-232 connectivity, compatible with any PCI Express slot.
Bidirectional data speeds up to 921.8Kbps ensures fast and reliable communications for your industrial and embedded applications in a 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 efficient PCI Express requires a hardware change only — your new PCI Express system is backwards compatible with your PCI software.
