PCL-849A  4-port RS-232 Card - ISA

High Resistance to Noise and Vibration, 4-layer board. Compared to other 2-layer boards, this card provides better density and resistance to noise. Both ends of the PCL-849 card can be fixed to the chassis, for better stability.

PCL-849 supports up to 921.6K bps standard PC data rates, 8 times faster than general communication card.
Ports: COM1 - 4   I/O address range: 200H to 3F8H,   IRQ: 3,4,5,6,7,9,10,11,12,15

Eight LED indicators are designed for the data flow indication for each port. Furthermore, easy maintenance is enhanced by jumper setting for Interrupt Request Lines (IRQ ) on each port. You can assign a different IRQ to each port or have all four ports share the same IRQ by simply setting up the jumper on each port.
Includes cable
DB37 to 4x 25-pin D-type male cnnctrs DTE, 30cm long.
