Description
Add serial communication support to a desktop computer or Small Form Factor (SFF) system, using this 2-Port Serial PCI Express Card. The two DB9 ports can be independently configured to support RS-232, RS-422, and 2/4-wire RS-485 standards, for communication with compliant serial peripheral devices.
-
Per-Port Serial Configuration
This PCIe Serial Card is equipped with on-board DIP switches, enabling each DB9 serial port to operate in RS-232, RS-422, and/or RS-485 mode(s). The card features LED indicators per port, providing real-time monitoring of port activity. -
Configurable External SATA Power
The PCI Express Serial Adapter Card features three power modes that are configurable via on-board jumpers, including 12V (1.5A per port), 5V (1.5A per port), or no power (RI), over pin 9. -
Legacy Connectivity
This serial card enables the continued use of legacy serial devices, preventing down time and avoiding costly upgrades. The 2-Port PCIe Serial Card is an ideal system upgrade for a wide range of applications (e.g., point-of-sale terminals, PLCs, factory control and automation, scientific sensors, medical equipment, scanners, and oscilloscopes).
