Overview
Rack-mountable I/O connector interfaces for the industry-leading RocketPort serial communications controllers. Combined with a RocketPort 16- or 32-port controller installed in an ISA or PCI PC expansion slot, the RocketPort RM16-RJ45 and RM32-RJ45 provide either RS-232 or RS-422 interfaces via RJ45 connectors.
Ideal for remote access, POS (point of sale), and industrial automation applications, the RM16-RJ45 and RM32-RJ45 products are designed to meet the needs for rack mounted installations, providing high density serial port access without the clutter and hassle of fan-out cables or multiple interface connectors.
RocketPort High-Performance Serial Connectivity
The Comtrol RocketPort family of high-performance serial cards revolutionize multiport connectivity. They are more reliable, easier to use, and more cost-efficient than any other controller available on the market. Industry-leading performance of up to 230.4 Kbps full duplex across 32 ports simultaneously is the result of the controller’s unique design features including:
- Dedicated on-board 36 MHz processors—one per every eight ports—to insure plenty of processing power to each port
- I/O mapping to eliminate memory conflicts
- The use of proprietary ASICs to yield the most reliable serial I/O performance
