Dual Serial I/O PC Card Product Information

DESCRIPTION
Add two high-speed RS-232 ports to your mobile computer with the Socket Dual Serial I/O Card. Connect to the world of serial devices such as fax/modems, digital cameras, bar code scanners, monitoring and control systems, writers for court reporting, data collection gear, lab equipment, GPS or DGPS receivers, wireless receivers and transceivers, label printers -- you name it!

The Dual Serial I/O's 16550 UART gives your serial peripherals optimum performance under Microsoft Windows CE 2.x. Built-in buffers support a continuous data stream from high speed peripherals such as digital cameras or fast modems.

The Dual I/O features simultaneous and independent operation of both serial ports. Separate cables allow the flexibility to use only one port without a dangling cable on the other or to mix custom and standard cables.

Socket's High-Integration Serial (HIS) chip reduces chip count to improve reliability and reduce power consumption. The Dual Serial I/O Card uses only 5 mA in standby mode compared to over 50 mA for other serial PC Cards. That extends the battery life of your mobile computer in situations where it's impractical to use an AC power adapter.
