StarTech 4 Port RS232 Mini PCI Express Serial Card with 16650 UART, Green

The MPEX4S952 4-Port RS232 Mini PCI Express Serial Card (16650 UART) turns a mini-PCIe slot into fourRS232 (DB9) serial ports with data rates up to 921.6 Kbps - a cost-saving solution for adding serial support to embedded systems missing the functionality. A native PCIe single-chip design enables you to take advantage of full PCI Express bus capability, by providing improved speed and reliability while reducing the load applied to the CPU by as much as 48% over conventional "bridge chip" serial cards .Backed by a StarTech Lifetime Warranty and free lifetime technical support.

• Compliant with PCI Express base specifications revision 1.1

Applications
• Add serial ports to industrial embedded computers and systems
• Add RS232 serial control to an embedded or slim media center/media server/all-in-one PC
• Add RS232 serial ports to slimline POS systems

Advantage
• The smallest form factor available, for internally adding serial ports to any embedded system
• Native single-chip design means up to 48% less load on your CPU which is critical for small embedded PCs that use low power, low MHz CPUs
