PCI Products
PCI products are devices that use the peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus standard. PCI products include bridges, extenders, and power supplies. They also include bus interface, adapter, memory, mass storage, networking, and serial communications modules.
PCI Express Products
PCI Express products (PCIe products) use a computer protocol and interface format which communicates more quickly than peripheral component interconnect (PCI), a standard which PCIe is designed to replace.
PCMCIA Cards and Accessories
PCMCIA cards and accessories follow standards developed by the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA), an international standards body and trade organization. PCMCIA cards, or PC cards as they are commonly known, were designed originally for adding memory to portable computers, but are now used in a variety of devices.
PCMCIA Serial Adapter Cards
PCMCIA serial adapter cards provide one or more serial ports to a host computer. They use a PCMCIA card bus to interface with the host, and add RS232, RS422, RS485, or other types of serial ports.
USB Products
USB products is a general search form that covers a wide range of devices that use the universal serial bus (USB) standard. USB products include host controllers, adapters, hard drives, CD-ROM drives, hubs, modems, faxes, and routers.
