2 Port RS232 PCI Express Serial Card w/ Breakout Cable

StarTech ID: PEX2S553B

The PEX2S553B 2-Port PCI Express Serial Card w/ Breakout Cable lets you add two RS232 serial ports using a

single PCIe expansion slot. With the included break-out cable, you can easily add two ports to a single low

profile slot.

The PCIe 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 - a cost-effective solution for connecting

legacy serial devices to PCIe enabled computers.

The multiport PCIe Serial Adapter includes both full and low-profile/half-height brackets for compatibility with

standard and small form factor computers, and is compatible with a broad range of operating systems, including

Windows® 7/Server 2008 R2, 2003/Vista/XP (32 and 64 bit), Linux Kernel 2.6.11 and up, as well as MAC OS

10.5 and above.

This product is a replacement for our PEX2S552B card.

Backed by a StarTech.com lifetime warranty and free lifetime technical support.
