4 Port Low Profile Native RS232 PCI Express Serial Card with 16950 UART
StarTech ID: PEX4S952LP
The PEX4S952LP 4 Port Low Profile Native RS232 PCI Express Serial Card (16950 UART) turns a PCI
Express slot into four RS232 (DB9) serial connections.
The card is constructed using a native single chip design that lets you harness the full capability offered by PCI
Express (PCIe), while reducing the load applied to the CPU by as much as 48% over conventional bridge chip
serial cards.
The PCI Express RS232 Serial Adapter Card is compatible with a broad range of operating systems, including
Windows® 2000/XP/2003/Vista, Linux Kernel 2.6.11 and up, and ships with a half-height/low profile bracket
installed, but also includes an optional full profile bracket that lets you add four serial ports to virtually any
computer (regardless of the case form factor).
Backed by a StarTech.com Lifetime warranty and free lifetime technical support.
