Introduction

The CA-114 PC/104 modules are reliable, high performance, multiport serial communication solutions that have 4 RS-232/422/485 ports, and can be used with PC/104 CPU boards that accept the PC/104 expansion interface. Optional DB9 and DB25 connection cables are available for connecting to serial devices, and the CA-114s’ versatile driver support makes the modules suitable for a wide range of applications.
