A Dual Volt 2-Port Serial Card is a PCI expansion card designed to add serial communication ports to a computer. It allows users to connect devices that use traditional serial interfaces, such as modems, industrial equipment, or legacy hardware. This card is ideal for users who need to maintain compatibility with older devices that do not support modern USB or other interfaces. The card is commonly used in environments where reliable and stable serial communication is required, such as in industrial automation or data acquisition systems.
The card features two serial ports, each capable of operating at different voltages, which makes it compatible with a wide range of serial devices. This dual-voltage capability ensures that the card can support both 5V and 12V devices without the need for additional voltage regulators. The performance of the card is reliable, offering stable data transfer rates suitable for most serial communication applications. It is designed to work with standard PCI slots, making it compatible with a variety of desktop computers.
Installation of the card is straightforward, requiring only a free PCI slot and basic setup through the operating system. The card typically comes with necessary drivers and software to ensure seamless integration with the user's system. Users may need to configure the serial ports using device manager settings or third-party software depending on their specific needs. The card is often used in scenarios where multiple serial devices need to be connected simultaneously, such as in laboratory setups or industrial control systems.
The design of the card is compact and built with durable materials to ensure long-term reliability. It includes standard connectors for easy attachment of serial cables and devices. The card does not include any additional accessories beyond the necessary drivers and software, so users may need to purchase serial cables separately based on their requirements. It is important to note that this card is not compatible with newer systems that use PCIe slots instead of PCI.
