Express Card to PC Card Adapter

The XCA-3 ExpressCard/34 adapter gives users the ability to use the new smaller, more compact wireless ExpressCards in notebooks equipped with PCMCIA slots.

Ultimate Flexibility
Novatel Wireless’ XCA-3 ExpressCard/34 adapter gives users the ability to use the new smaller, more compact wireless ExpressCards in notebooks equipped only with the larger 54 mm PC Card slots. Now, with a single ExpressCard and adapter, users can access any notebook, regardless of the type of slot it has.

Total Transparency
Use of the XCA-3 adapter is completely transparent to the computer. All device drivers and applications "see" the ExpressCard in the adapter as if the adapter was built in to the notebook. Intelligent hardware on the adapter resolves all compatibility issues by converting ExpressCard signals to Cardbus signals and visa versa. This is done transparently to both the ExpressCard and the notebook.

Full Performance
ExpressCard/34 devices operate at full performance levels. There is no performance degradation when using the adapter.

Hot-Swapping
The XCA-3 adapter may be left in the notebook and ExpressCard inserted or extracted at will without rebooting or re-initializing the card.
