RD-I/O Ruggedized Dual Serial PC Card
Two High Speed RS-232 COM Ports for Windows CE H/PCs and Windows 9x/NT Notebooks Add Two Communication Ports for Industrial and Field Applications
Now you can add two high-speed RS-232 ports to your notebook for operation in industrial or field environments. Connect to serial devices such as modems, digital cameras, bar code scanners, monitoring and control systems, data collection gear, lab equipment, GPS receivers, wireless transceivers, label printers— you name it! Fully integrated fixed cables maintain solid contact in high vibration situations such as when the card is used with a PC mounted in an all-terrain vehicle. A molded strain relief protects against lateral stress and seals out dust and moisture. A sonic welded case adds rigidity to resist torque that could otherwise crack circuit board traces. It’s designed to keep going when the going gets tough.
Ultra Low Power Is Perfect for Portables
Socket’s High-Integration Serial (HIS) chip lowers chip count to improve reliability and reduce power consumption. The Ruggedized Dual S-I/O Card uses only 5 mA per port when in standby mode compared to 100 mA for other serial cards! Low power means you can operate your mobile computer longer on internal batteries when you’re off the beaten path.
