Connect Tech Introduces the Universal Blue Heat/PCI

Guelph, Ontario – September  2002

Connect Tech is speaking the Universal language of . . . the PCI bus.

The PCI bus continues to evolve into a faster, more efficient system, and Connect Tech is ensuring its popular Blue Heat/PCI line evolves along with it.

This fall, Connect Tech released the Universal Blue Heat/PCI 485. Now all of the great features of our Blue Heat boards are available on an adapter that will work with both the newer 3.3V connector key as well as the older 5V systems.

The latest conventional PCI standard marks the end of the original 5 volt connector, which is no longer supported. Built to strict PCI v2.3 specifications, the Universal PCI edge connector of the Universal Blue Heat means no matter what version of the PCI bus you have, or what stage of transition your system, your data communications will benefit from Blue Heat’s proven reliability and quality. Versatility guaranteed!

Superior engineering enables communications speeds up to 921.6 Kbps in addition to multi-strike surge protection on all signals, all ports. High performance UARTs control each port, providing 128 bytes of transmit and receive FIFO buffers, automatic flow and RS-485 control.

As with all Connect Tech boards, easy installation, a top notch technical support team at your disposal, comprehensive download library, and support for all the most popular operating systems are standard.

The Universal Blue Heat is currently shipping in both eight ports of RS-422/485, and four RS-232 + four RS-422/485 port densities, and will be available in two and four port versions soon. Contact Connect Tech’s sales team for more details on how you can start moving towards the future of PCI today.

We have the solutions to keep you on track, no matter how complicated or simple your application needs.
