StarTech.com 4-port PCI Express RS232 Serial Adapter Card - PCIe RS232 Serial Ho PEX4S953

PCI Express to Serial Adapter | 921.6Kbps | Windows- and Linux- Compatible

This PCI Express RS232 serial adapter card lets you add four RS232 (DB9) serial ports to your computer through a PCI Express (PCIe) slot, as if they were native serial ports. The 4 port PCIe serial card enables you to interact with serial devices, such as card readers, printers, PIN pads, and modems, at speeds of up to 921.6Kbps.

Maximum Compatibility

With broad OS support, including for Windows and Linux, this multiport PCI E serial card is easy to integrate into mixed environments. The card comes pre-configured with a full-sized bracket, and includes an optional low-profile bracket, so installation is easy regardless of the case form factor. This expansion card is a direct replacement for PEX4S952 .

Serial ports quantity

The number of serial ports in a computer or peripheral. A serial port is a serial communication physical interface through which information transfers in or out one bit at a time. The term "serial port" usually identifies hardware more or less compliant to the RS-232 standard, intended to interface with a modem or with a similar communication device. In modern computers and peripherals, serial ports have largely been replaced by USBs and other interfaces.

Features


Chipset

Set of electronic components in an integrated circuit that manages the data flow between the processor, memory and peripherals. It is usually found in the motherboard of a computer. Chipsets are usually designed to work with a specific family of microprocessors. Because it controls communications between the processor and external devices, the chipset plays a crucial role in determining system performance.
