USB CFast slot CU8871

The CU8871 offers a CFast socket with USB connector in a compact housing for DIN rail mounting. CFast cards are used in the industrial environment as data memory for process and control data. The CFast cards are hot-plug capable in the CU8871 and can hence be plugged and unplugged like removable data storage devices for exchanging data with other PCs during operation. The USB 3.0 connection offers the highest data transfer rate possible with a CFast card, but the CFast adapter can also be connected to PCs with a USB 2.0 interface. Power is also supplied via USB. Status LEDs indicate whether the CU8871 is connected, signal data accesses and provide information as to whether a CFast card is inserted.
