Description
The StarTech 4-Port RS-232 Serial Native PCIe Adapter Card with 16550 UART lets you add 4 RS-232 serial ports to any standard or small form factor computer through a PCIe expansion slot. Based on a native single-chip design, this adapter card allows you to harness the full capability offered by PCIe, while reducing the load applied to the CPU by as much as 48% over conventional bridge-chip serial cards. The RS-232 serial adapter card includes 4 half-height/low-profile brackets, allowing the card to be installed into almost any PC case, regardless of form factor.
Key Features:
- Native single-chip, single lane PCIe chipset delivers true PCIe performance, up to 48% more efficient than bridge-chip designs
- Standard and low-profile/half-height brackets included to ensure fitment in any system
- Four high-speed RS-232 serial ports deliver data transfer rates up to 128 Kb/s
- 256-byte deep FIFO per transmitter and receiver
- Built-in 16C450/550 compatible UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter)
- Compatible with PCIe base specification 1.1
Applications:
POS retail applications in grocery stores, and any other retail store to control keyboards, cash drawers, receipt printers, card readers/card swipes, scales, and elevated displays on poles
Bank teller workstations in either full-profile or low-profile versions to control serial devices such as cash drawers, card readers/card swipes, printers, keypads/pinpads, and pen pads
Self-service automated machines and kiosks to control serial devices such as scales, touchscreens, magnetic card readers, bar code scanners, receipt printers, and label printers
Standard ATM automated teller machines to control keypads, receipt printer, card readers/card swipes, touchscreen LCD's, camera control, and more.
Used to control multiple surveillance/security cameras in parking structures and office buildings, among others.
