Description
The StarTech 4-Port RS-232 PCIe Serial Card with Breakout Cable lets you add 4 RS-232 serial ports using a single PCIe , low profile expansion slot, with an included 1-to-4 cable. 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. This card is a cost-effective solution for connecting legacy serial devices to PCIe-enabled computers.
The 4-port serial adapter includes both full-profile and low-profile/half-height brackets for compatibility with standard and small form factor computers. It is compatible with a broad range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and Mac OS.
Key Features:
- Native single-chip, single lane PCIe design ensures optimal system performance (up to 48% less CPU load)
- Includes both standard and low-profile/half-height brackets, which makes this card suitable for any application, including small form factor embedded applications
- Breakout cable design; only one expansion slot is needed to add 4 additional serial ports to any system
- On-chip 256-byte depth FIFO in transmit/receive path of each port
- Single-lane (x1) PCIe with throughput up to 2.5 Gb/s
- Supports hardware and software flow control
- Supports re-map function for legacy ports
- Supports data transfer rates up to 250 Kb/s on each port
- Compliant with PCIe base specification revision 1.0a
- Automated out-of-band flow control using CTS/RTS and DSR/DTR
