These intelligent serial I/O adapters use less than 1% system load so servers won't slow down as you run more applications, attach more devices or service more users. SST Multiport Adapters are available in 4 and 8-port configurations. The Avocent line of SST Multiport Adapters deliver the performance and speed you need at a very affordable price. Installation and set up take just a few minutes.
Designed for ultimate flexibility, Avocent SST multiport serial adapters are available with support for 4 to 8 ports. These intelligent leading-edge adapters support a 3.3V or a 5V PCI bus and offload virtually all serial traffic from your system CPU so servers won't slow down as I/O demand increases. Engineered for reliability, SST adapters include 15,000 volt surge suppression on every pin of every port eliminating blown ports from transient electrical spikes. With unmatched speed, surge suppression and superior performance, these intelligent adapters provide cost-effective, reliable connections to serial devices for most popular operating systems. Serial adapters used in conjunction with port modules offer flexible distance options. Avocent serial adapters offer a variety of choices for retail/POS, multiport and expandable connectivity.
