This 2-port PCI Express serial card adds two high-performance RS232 serial ports to your device, enabling connection to serial-based equipment. It is designed for use in environments where legacy devices need to interface with modern systems lacking native serial ports. The card supports a wide range of applications, including manufacturing, point-of-sale systems, and security devices, ensuring compatibility with various industrial and commercial setups. Its compliance with the PCI Express 1.0a standard allows it to work with multiple slot configurations, making it versatile for different computer cases and motherboards.

The card delivers high-performance serial communication with data transfer rates up to 460Kbps, ensuring reliable and fast data transmission. It uses the 16C1050 UART chip, which is known for its stability and efficiency in serial communication tasks. The dual-channel design allows both ports to operate simultaneously without performance degradation, making it suitable for multitasking environments. Additionally, the card reduces CPU load during serial operations, helping maintain system performance and minimize errors during data transfer.

The low-profile design of the card makes it suitable for compact or space-constrained systems, such as small form factor PCs or industrial enclosures. It includes a standard-profile bracket by default but also provides an optional low-profile bracket for flexibility in installation. The card supports plug-and-play functionality and IRQ sharing, simplifying setup and reducing configuration complexity. It is compatible with a broad range of Windows operating systems, ensuring ease of use across different computing environments.

The card comes with all necessary components for installation, including the standard-profile bracket and an optional low-profile bracket. No additional drivers are required for basic operation, though specific software may be needed for advanced configuration or monitoring of serial ports. It is ideal for users who need to connect legacy devices such as modems, industrial sensors, or specialized peripherals that rely on RS232 communication.
