Rear I/O Module
RS-232 with ESD Protection


The CU8-RS232 is a rear-I/O PHY module for CompactPCI® systems, to be used in combination with the serial interface cards CU1-CHORUS and CU2-QUARTET. The CU8-RS232 is provided with an EIA-232E data transceiver for EMI sensitive applications.



The 9-position male D-Sub connector is wired as a PC COM Port. Data transfer rates up to 230kbps are allowed. The module has been designed for operation in harsh electrical environments - EMI immunity includes ESD protection in excess of 15kV.


CU8-RS232 Interface Module

CU8-RS232

The CU8-RS232 module is intended for use especially with the serial interface boards CU1-CHORUS and CU2-QUARTET. These CompactPCI® cards have their TTL level serial ports routed to J4/J5, respectively J2, for rear-I/O by additional PHY (physical layer) modules.



Mounted onto the CPCI backplane from behind, the additional transition board CU9-1-BASE for up to 16 ports, or CU9-2-BASE for a maximum of 4 ports, is equipped with metric 2mm pin headers, matching the flat ribbon cable assemblies to the particular PHY modules, such as the CU8-RS232.
