1 Port Low Profile Native PCI Express Serial Card
w/ 16950

Product ID: PEX1S952LP

The PEX1S952LP 1 Port Low Profile Native PCI Express RS232 Serial Adapter Card with 16950 UART adds

an RS232 (DB9) Serial Port with data rates up to 460 Kbps to a computer through an available low profile

PCIe slot, while relying on a native, single-chip design (Oxford OXPCIe952) that harnesses the capability

of true PCI Express - ensuring maximum performance and reliability and reducing the load applied to the

CPU by as much as 48% over conventional (bridge chip) serial cards.

The 1 port RS232 serial card features a half-height pci express mounting bracket that's designed

specifically for low profile/small form factor computer cases, and includes an optional standard height

bracket as well. Compatible with a broad range of operating systems including Windows® and Linux for

easy integration into mixed environments.
