Introduction
SUNIX PAR5408AL PCI Express and PCI interface IEEE1284 Parallel communication boards meet the PCI Express Base Specification Revision 1.1 specification. SUNIX PAR5408AL is compatible with PCI Express x1, x2, x4, x8 and x16 lane and PCI/PCI-x Bus, allowing it to be installed in any slim size PC-based system with low profile bracket structure. With SUNIX PAR5408AL IEEE1284 Parallel board, users can expand one parallel port to their system, allowing them to use parallel devices further. It is ideal for printers, IC programmers, ZIP Drives, or any Parallel devices*. SUNIX PAR5408AL built-in SUNIX high performance and realizable single controller, and as well built with many of SUNIX advanced features and technologies, making it the advanced and high efficient solution for commercial and industrial automation application.
