The low profile BlueStorm/LP is the perfect fit for your high density chassis or low profile PC. Fully Universal PCI 2.3 compliant, this RS-232 adapter can be installed in either a 3.3V or 5V system, and fits into low profile and standard height PCI computers with the change of a bracket. This enables you to connect multiple devices to your system, taking full advantage of the space saving qualities of its MD1 low profile design without sacrificing performance. Data speeds up to 921.6 Kbps ensure your data acquisition, office automation, POS, self-service kiosk or scientific/instrumentation applications communicate in a reliable, cost-effective manner.
Available with or without surge suppression and DB-9 male cables, the PCI serial cards can be ordered with low profile bracket, standard sized bracket or both for the ultimate flexibility.
The BlueStorm/LP comes in 2, 4 and 8 port RS-232 serial interface models as well as 1 plus 1, 2 plus 2, and 4 plus 4 RS-232 plus RS-422/485 serial interface models.
