Moxa CP-118U-I-T 8-Port Industrial Universal PCI Serial Board
The Moxa CP-118U-I-T is an 8-port industrial serial communication board designed to add multiple RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 interfaces to compatible computer systems. It combines a 32-bit Universal PCI interface with optical isolation and wide-temperature operation, making it suitable for industrial environments where multiple serial devices must communicate reliably with a host computer.
Each of the eight serial ports supports communication speeds from 50 bps to 921.6 kbps. The board uses a 128-byte FIFO and supports hardware and software flow control for efficient multi-port serial communication. Its 2 kV optical isolation helps protect the host computer and serial equipment from electrical differences and industrial electrical noise.

Industrial Multi-Port Serial Communication
The CP-118U-I-T is designed for systems that require multiple serial communication channels from a single host computer. Its eight ports can be used for connecting industrial controllers, meters, terminals, data acquisition equipment, machine interfaces and other RS-232/422/485 devices.
The combination of multiple serial interfaces, high baud-rate support and 128-byte FIFO makes the board suitable for multi-device communication applications where stable serial data transfer is required across several channels.
Optical Isolation and Wide-Temperature Operation
The 2 kV optical isolation provides an additional layer of electrical protection for industrial installations. This is particularly useful where connected serial devices may operate at different electrical potentials or where electrical noise and ground-potential differences are concerns.
The -40°C to 75°C operating temperature range allows the CP-118U-I-T to be used in a wider range of industrial environments than the standard-temperature CP-118U model. The exact installation environment and host-system specifications should still be checked before deployment.
Compatibility and Installation
The CP-118U-I-T uses a 32-bit Universal PCI interface and is designed to operate with compatible 3.3V or 5V PCI/PCI-X systems. The board is therefore intended for computers with an appropriate legacy PCI expansion slot rather than modern PCI Express-only systems.
The eight serial interfaces are presented through a DB62 female connector and require the appropriate Moxa serial cable or breakout accessory for connecting individual devices. Verify the required cable configuration and serial mode before installation.
