The Excalibur Systems EXC-2000PCI is a multi-protocol interface board designed for PCI bus systems. It integrates multiple communication interfaces onto a single PCI slot through interchangeable modules, delivering flexible test and simulation capabilities for avionics, military, and industrial control applications. The board measures 126.6 mm × 106.68 mm (smaller than half-size) and weighs 93 g without modules, featuring two high-density DB-26 female connectors for compact system integration.
