Connect Tech Introduces the Industry's First 16 Port PCI Express Card.

Guelph, Ontario - June  2007

Connect Tech's established BlueStorm/Express family offers field-tested products, optical isolation and now introduces the industry's first 16 port PCI Express card. 

Available in 2, 4, 8 or 16 ports, the BlueStorm/Express provides reliable, high speed data transfer for your PCI Express system. Each port is designed to be hardware configurable for either RS-232/422/485 in single port increments. BlueStorm/Express is compatible with x1, x4, x8 and x16 lane, standard profile PCI Express slots. With 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.

Connect Tech understands your need for high performance and dependable products. As a result, standard BlueStorm/Express cards include multi-strike surge suppression on all ports to protect your data from any disruptions that may occur in your operating environment. Should optical isolation be a requirement in your application, the BlueStorm/Express Opto is the ideal choice. With a full 3kV of optical isolation implemented both port to port and port to host, the possibility for damage to either your device or your system is significantly decreased.

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 and BlueStorm/Express Opto products will continue to be the best choice for your critical applications.
