SB16C1058PCI Octal Serial Card: Product Specification & User Guide

The SB16C1058PCI is engineered for users in need of a simple, user-friendly octal (8-port) serial card. Simply insert the PCI-bus SB16C1058PCI into an expansion slot—all configurations are software-based, eliminating the need for physical switches, jumpers, or manual adjustments to I/O addresses and IRQs. This design ensures maximum ease of use.

In one-to-multiple (multi-drop) application scenarios, each serial port supports connections to multiple devices. It leverages chip-level hardware flow control to guarantee uninterrupted, complete data transmission.

Optional optical isolation and surge protection features are available to enhance system stability and safeguard against electrical hazards.
