Fan-Out Cable with PCIE 4x Port Serial DB9 Card and WCH CH384 Chipset

This is a PCIe expansion card with a DB9 serial port, designed for connecting legacy serial devices to modern computers. It uses the WCH CH384 chipset, which is known for its reliability and compatibility with various serial communication standards. The card includes a fan-out cable for connecting multiple serial devices through a single port. It is ideal for users who need to interface with older equipment that uses RS-232 serial connections, such as industrial machinery, scientific instruments, or certain types of modems.

The card supports PCIe 4x interface, ensuring stable and fast data transfer between the computer and the connected devices. The WCH CH384 chipset provides support for baud rates up to 921,600 bps, making it suitable for high-speed serial communication needs. It also includes features like hardware flow control and interrupt handling, which improve performance and reduce data loss during transmission.

The card is designed to fit into standard PCIe slots on motherboards, making it compatible with most desktop computers. It requires no additional power supply as it draws power directly from the PCIe slot. The fan-out cable allows users to connect multiple serial devices without the need for additional expansion cards or complex configurations.

Installation is straightforward, requiring only the insertion of the card into an available PCIe slot and connecting the fan-out cable to the desired serial devices. No drivers are typically required as the card is plug-and-play compatible with most operating systems. However, users may need to install specific drivers for optimal performance or advanced configuration options.
