PC Cards

B&B Electronics' PCI, PCMCIA, CF and ISA cards can be used to add ports to any system. From multi-ports, RS-232/422/485 interface, optically isolated, to adding a serial or parallel port to your laptop, B&B Electronics' PC cards and serial port cards have you covered.

Our serial boards are designed and manufactured and are the perfect solution for adding multiple high-speed serial ports to any PC, Server, Thin Client or Embedded System. Our serial boards adhere to standards specifications so that they will consistently function properly in your system, because they are manufactured with high-end features. We now offers Industrial Serial Extenders and Converters with serial protocols with plug-n-play capabilities without software or hardware complicated settings.

ExpressCard technology is emerging with faster speeds and better efficiency than the typical PCMCIA and PC Cards, connecting high-bandwidth peripherals to notebooks and other portables. The ExpressCard’s credit-card like format gives way to a smaller, faster and more desktop-friendly format. Gone are the days of laptops manufactured with PC Card slots and are swapped out with smaller, slimmer and thinner ExpressCard portals.

Designed with PCI Express (PCIe) power control and design core rather than using USB controller interfaces, Quatech's SPPXP-100 parallel ExpressCard adds one true EPP parallel port to your laptop. As the next generation of I/O expansion for notebooks, ExpressCards support PCI Express Base Specification Revision 1.1a.

The new ExpressCard offers users an easy way to add hardware or media to existing systems. The latest technology provides desktop and mobile computer users a consistent, easy and reliable way to connect devices into their systems. It’s mobile and small-form-factor replaces conventional parallel buses for I/O devices with scaleable, high speed interfaces; while improving performance by supporting USB 2.0 standards.

Quatech provides high performance connectivity for mobile computing, industry laptops or handheld computers. With Quatech PCMCIA cards, you can easily and effectively expand your ports for serial, parallel or synchronous serial applications. Ruggedized versions are available. Our PCMCIA Card Drives deliver reliable, high quality connectivity with easy installation and support.

Need serial cards for the ISA bus? Many industrial PCs still use them and we're happy to say B&B Electronics continues to support and stock ISA cards.

These card models can be configured for any I/O address and IRQ. Each port can be independently configured for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 data protocol. Each also has the popular RS-485 Automatic Send Data Control feature to transparently enable and disable the RS-485 transmitter as needed. Each port uses a buffered, high speed 16550A UART.
