The PEX2S952PW 2-Port PCI Express Serial Card (with Power Output) turns a PCI Express slot into 2 RS232 (DB9) serial connections and enables compatible devices to draw power from the serial ports.

Suitable for many RS232-powered serial applications, this PCIe serial card offers a selectable 5V or 12V power option capable of power output using pin 1, 4, 8 or 9, allowing you to configure the card to suit the requirements of your powered RS232 devices.

A flexible solution for adding serial ports to small form factor or full-sized systems, the 2-port serial card includes both low and full profile brackets and features a 4-layer PCB (with separate layers for data and ground) to greatly reduce signal noise and loss.

To ensure maximum performance, the serial card is based on a native single chip design, that allows you to harness the full capability of PCI Express (PCIe) - providing optimum reliability and speed while reducing the load applied to the CPU by as much as 48% over conventional (bridge chip) serial cards.

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

The StarTech.com Advantage
