The PEX2S553 PCI Express Serial Card lets you turn a PCI Express slot into 2 RS232 (DB9) Serial ports. Based on a native single chip design (no bridge chip), this 2-Port Serial adapter Card allows you to harness the full capability offered by PCI Express (PCIe), and reducing the load applied to the CPU by as much as 48% over conventional Serial Cards.
The RS232 Serial Adapter Card (PEX2S553) is compatible with a broad range of operating systems including Windows� 2000/XP/2003/Vista��/Windows 7/Server 2008 R2 (32 and 64 bit), Linux Kernel 2.6.11 and up, and MAC OS 10.4 and above. Plus, the Serial Card includes an optional half-height/low profile bracket that allows the Card to be installed in any PCI Express slot, regardless of the size of the computer case.
This product is a replacement for our PEX2S552 Card.
