4 Port RS232 PCI Express Serial Card w/ Breakout Cable
StarTech ID: PEX4S553B
The PEX4S553B 4-Port PCI Express Serial Card (with breakout cable) lets you add 4 RS232 serial ports using
a single PCIe expansion slot, with an included 1-to-4 cable enabling you to add 4 serial ports to a single low
profile slot.
The serial card features a native single-chip design that provides optimum reliability and speed, reducing the
CPU load by up to 48% over conventional bridge-chip serial cards - a cost-effective solution for connecting
legacy serial devices to PCIe-enabled computers.
The multi-port serial adapter includes both full profile and low profile/half-height brackets for compatibility with
standard and small form factor computers, and is compatible with a broad range of operating systems, including
Windows®, Linux, and MAC OS.
This product is a replacement for our PEX4S552B card.
