The STARTECH PEX16S550LP is a 16-port PCI Express serial card designed for adding multiple high-speed RS232 ports to desktop or server PCs. This low-profile card utilizes a single PCIe slot to provide 16 DB9 RS232 serial ports, addressing scenarios where a system has limited expansion slots but requires extensive serial connectivity. It supports data transfer rates up to 921.6 Kbps, making it suitable for high-performance serial communication. The card is compatible with 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, and 16x PCI Express slots and includes a low-profile bracket for versatile installation in both standard and low-profile chassis. This solution is intended for IT professionals and businesses needing to integrate numerous serial-based devices, such as manufacturing equipment, POS systems, security devices, or environmental control systems, into a single host PC.
This PCI Express serial card adds 16 high-speed RS232 ports to your standard or low-profile desktop or server PC. This lets you maximize the number of available DB9 RS232 ports that are available for connecting your serial-based devices and equipment, while using only a single PCI Express (PCIe) slot. It's the perfect solution for adding the serial ports you need, even if your desktop PC or server only has a limited number of PCIe expansion slots.
