The Sunix PAR5008R is a high-performance 32/64-bit PCI parallel interface card designed for modern 64-bit systems. Featuring dual bracket options, flexible port mapping, and advanced 16-byte hardware FiFo, it ensures fast and reliable parallel data communication with speeds up to 1.8MBps, protected with 2KV ESD safety and WHQL-certified Sunix UL7502AQ chipset integration.
Sunix PAR5008R PCI Parallel Card
The Sunix PAR5008R delivers reliable and flexible parallel connectivity for both legacy and modern systems. It supports multiple parallel modes including SPP, BPP, ECP, and EPP, and can re-map to legacy ISA addresses such as 378, 278, and 3BC. The dual bracket design allows standard and low-profile installation, fitting a wide range of PC cases.
With a 32/64-bit PCI interface, 16-byte hardware FiFo, and data transfer speeds up to 1.8MBps, this card ensures smooth communication with printers, industrial devices, and specialized peripherals. Enhanced 2KV ESD protection and WHQL certification guarantee safe and stable operation for mission-critical tasks.
Performance tier: Professional / High-reliability
Uses: Industrial printers, legacy devices, data acquisition systems, parallel peripherals, workstation expansions
SUNIX PAR5008R PCI Remap Parallel card enables users to expand one additional real ECP/EPP/SPP/BPP communication LPT port on their PC-based system for connecting their parallel device. This board can be installed as a fully featured I/O mapped parallel port as 278, 378, and 3BC legacy ISA address under Microsoft Windows and DOS operation systems. Besides, there're some software (hardware) could not switch operation mode automatically, and user has to require changing LPT settings to the particular mode. SUNIX PAR5008R can force setting SPP, Bi-Directional, EPP, or ECP mode by jumper settings!
With legacy ISA address and Parallel operation mode selectiveness feature, SUNIX PAR5008R simulates onboard native parallel port operation completely. User can connect traditional software protection dongles, JTAG chip programmers, data acquisition, machine process control, scientific measurement systems, and other parallel devices as well as computer's native parallel port. SUNIX PAR5008R Remap card is designed with SUNIX high performance and realizable Parallel connectivity controller, UL7502AQ 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 applications.
The Sunix PAR5008R is engineered for users who require dependable parallel communication in both modern and legacy computing environments. Its dual bracket design accommodates standard and low-profile PCI slots, while its flexible port mapping ensures compatibility with legacy ISA addresses. Built on the WHQL-certified Sunix UL7502AQ chipset, the card provides stable, high-speed data transfer up to 1.8MBps with 16-byte hardware FiFo buffering. Enhanced 2KV ESD protection safeguards sensitive components, making it suitable for industrial applications and professional workstation setups.
