Guelph, Ontario - April 8,
2008
Connect
Tech Inc. has been designing and manufacturing rugged
communications solutions for the embedded and industrial PC
markets for over 20 years. Today we are pleased to announce
the addition of
Xtreme/104-Express,
the industry’s first serial board designed in support of the
recently adopted PCI/104-Express
specification.
Building on a wealth of PCI Express experience,
Connect Tech introduces a high speed PCI-104/Express serial
board that provides a cutting edge option perfect for early
adoption and new long-lifecycle designs.
Xtreme/104-Express offers users a communication solution that boasts high data
rates, rugged reliability and long term sustainability for
the industrial and embedded PC market.
“As a member of the PC/104 Consortium, we’ve voted and fully
recognize the benefits that PCI/104-Express will bring,”
stated Michele Kasza, VP Sales of Connect Tech. “We embrace
the new specification and all the advantages that it has to
offer our customers.”
Xtreme/104-Express represents Connect Tech’s highest
throughput to date. A flexible, built-in baud rate prescaler allows almost any baud rate to be matched with a
high level of accuracy. Fail-safe 1/8th load transceivers
allow up to 256 devices on a bus and ensure that your
network operates glitch-free through power-up and
power-down. Xtreme/104-Express also supports full
industrial temperature range operation (-40°C to 85°C) and
features filtering on all ports to help improve immunity to
EMI and noisy transmission lines for guaranteed
dependability in communications. Rounding off the feature
set, the
Xtreme/104-Express supports 9-bit data modes,
allowing an easy migration path for RS-485 customers who
make use of this feature.
System developers will appreciate the performance enhancing
features that
Xtreme/104-Express has to offer. Its
innovative design provides users with a standards compliant,
high performance communications solution that provides
scalability and reliability for their critical
applications. This PCI/104-Express serial board is perfect
for military, aerospace, medical, instrumentation and
industrial control.
Connect Tech acknowledges that challenges can arise when
facing new projects. As a result, we continue to grow our
standard and custom product lines. We are committed to
working together to meet customer demands by constantly
improving and expanding product offerings to make certain
that our customers have maximum performance, reliable
communications solutions they can depend on.
