English Works with 3.3 Volt PCI Looking for the best way to connect more serial devices to servers utilizing 3.3 volt architecture?
The Comtrol family of RocketPort Universal PCI multiport cards makes serial device connectivity reliable,
cost effective and easy. Designed to fit either low-profile or standard PC architectures,
each RocketPort Universal PCI card adds four to 32 "native" COM ports to your PC. All Comtrol
RocketPort uPCI cards support 3.3 and 5.0 volt PCI bus architectures and are compatible with 64-bit 66MHz 3.3 volt slots.
RocketPort performance capabilities make it ideal for peripheral control applications such as data acquisition,
point-of-sale, and factory floor automation.

Unique, Powerful ASIC-Based Architecture Means Fast, Reliable, and Efficient Data Throughput
- Fast. The RocketPort Universal PCI card is powered by Comtrol's exclusive RocketPort chip, integrating a dedicated 36Mhz processor that enables the card to transmit and receive data four times faster than standard UART technology—up to 460 Kbps full duplex across all ports simultaneously.
- Reliable. Along with improved throughput speed and reduced load on the host system CPU, the RocketPort chip also adds an important benefit: increased reliability, with one of the longest mean times between failures of any multiport serial card currently on the market.
- Efficient.RocketPort uses transmit FIFOs 16 times larger, and receive FIFOs 64 times larger, than multiport cards designed with 16550 UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitters). This helps eliminate bottlenecks at the serial controller level while conserving CPU resources.
