Connect Tech Adds Optical Isolation to Protect Your PCI
Express Applications
Guelph, Ontario -
December 2007
Connect Tech’s established BlueStorm/Express
family now offers three optically isolated options to
further protect your PCI Express applications.
As the demand for increased communications
performance continues to rise, Connect Tech maintains a
steady pace to satisfy the needs of customers.
“According to our customers, optical isolation has become a
critical feature for serial communications, especially
within harsh environments. Based on this feedback, we have
made optical isolation a standard model option for PCI
Express, as well as, many of our other products,” Michele
Kasza, VP Sales.
Since product customization is such an integral portion of
Connect Tech’s business, CTI provides standard, as well as,
unique optically isolated model options for PCI Express.
Currently, Connect Tech’s BlueStorm/Express product family
offers the following PCI Express solutions:
BlueStorm/Express - a standard PCI Express serial
communications solution
BlueStorm/Express Opto – a PCI Express serial
communications card featuring 3kV optical isolation
BlueStorm/Express LP Opto – a low profile PCI Express
solution featuring 3 kV optical isolation
BlueStorm/Express Opto (1kV) – a unique PCI Express
card offering 1kV optical isolation on four of eight ports
and surge suppression on the remaining four ports
Connect Tech understands the need for high performance and
dependable products. Consequently, BlueStorm/Express cards
also include multi-strike surge suppression for added
protection from any disruptions that may occur within the
operating environment. Available in 2, 4, 8 or 16 ports,
CTI’s BlueStorm/Express cards provide reliable, high speed
data transfer for PCI Express systems. Ports are designed
to be hardware configurable for either RS-232/422/485 in
single port increments. BlueStorm/Express cards are
compatible with x1, x4, x8 and x16 lane, PCI Express slots.
With the added protection of optical isolation and baud
rates up to 921.6Kbps (RS-232) and 1.8432 Mbps (RS-422/485),
BlueStorm/Express ensures the best possible performance for
your serial communications.
With its constant innovation, Connect Tech
continues to lead the field in PCI Express serial
communication cards. Superior data transfer speeds, high
port densities, surge suppression and optical isolation
options ensure that BlueStorm/Express products will continue
to be the best choice for your critical applications. All
