StarTech 2-Port Native PCI Express RS232 Serial Adapter Card with 16950 UART [PEX2S952]

StarTech PEX2S952 Description:

Add 2 RS-232 Serial ports to your full height or low profile computer through a PCI Express slot

The PEX2S952 PCI Express based Serial Card turns a PCI Express slot into 2 RS-232 (DB9) Serial connections.

The adapter Card is based on a native single chip design, that allows you to harness the full capability of PCI Express (PCIe) - providing optimum reliability and speed while reducing the load applied to the CPU by as much as 48% over conventional (bridge chip) Serial Cards.

The RS232 Serial Adapter Card is compatible with a broad range of operating systems, including Windows� and Linux (Kernel 2.6.11 and up).

Plus, the adapter Card includes an optional half-height/low profile bracket that allows the Card to be installed in virtually any computer case � making it that much easier to add Serial ports to a PCI Express enabled computer, regardless of the size of the computer case.

Backed by a StarTech.com Lifetime warranty and free lifetime technical support.
