Working with legacy serial devices in a modern computing environment can be frustrating. Many newer computers no longer include traditional serial ports, leaving you unable to connect industrial equipment, POS systems, medical devices, or other essential hardware. This PCIe serial adapter card solves that problem elegantly by transforming an available PCIe slot into two fully functional RS232 DB9 serial ports.
Unlike conventional serial cards that rely on bridge chips, this adapter features a native single-chip design that maximizes the full potential of PCI Express technology. The result is significantly improved performance with up to 48% reduction in CPU load compared to older serial cards. This means your computer stays responsive even when running multiple serial-intensive applications simultaneously.
This serial adapter works seamlessly across multiple operating systems, including Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/Windows 7/Server 2008 R2 (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions), Linux Kernel 2.6.11 to 4.11.x, and Mac OS 10.4 and above. The package includes both standard full-height and low-profile brackets, making it perfect for desktop computers, slim cases, or servers with limited space.
Whether you're managing industrial automation equipment, connecting point-of-sale systems, interfacing with medical devices, or working with any other serial-dependent hardware, this adapter provides the reliable connectivity you need. The durable construction ensures stable performance even in demanding environments, backed by StarTech's quality assurance and compatibility guarantee.
