Introduction
Connect Tech's Xtreme/104-Plus family combines the best of the Universal PCI bus with the
rugged and compact form factor of PC/104.
PCI 2.0 and PC/104-Plus 2.0 compliant, the modular Xtreme/104-Plus and Xtreme/104-Plus
Opto cards include a PC/104 pass-through connector option for compatibility with legacy
PC/104 cards.
Xtreme/104-Plus and Xtreme/104-Plus Opto offer independent port configuration for baud rate,
and data bit options of 5, 6, 7 and 8 as well as 1, 1.5 and 2 stop bits. Select between odd and
even parity.
Connect Tech’s Xtreme/104-Plus cards are perfect for embedded applications such as industrial
PCs, kiosks, military systems, aerospace, medical systems, POS devices and any system
requiring fast data transfer speeds and a rugged, compact form factor. These self-stacking cards
are low on power consumption and function in industrial temperature conditions.
