The STARTECH 4-PORT SERIAL PCIE CARD is a port expansion card designed for business and IT environments requiring additional serial connectivity. This quad-port PCI Express card converts a single PCIe slot into four independent DB9 serial ports. Each port can be individually configured via on-board DIP switches to operate in RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 modes, providing flexibility for various legacy and industrial applications. On-board jumpers allow for selectable 12V or 5V power output at 1.5A, or no power (RI), catering to devices with specific power requirements. Utilizing the AX99100 Chipset and compatible with 16C450/16C550/16C650/16C750/16C950 UARTs, it supports a maximum baud rate of 921.6Kbps and features a 256 Byte FIFO. The PS74ADF-SERIAL-CARD is suitable for integrating serial-based peripherals or control systems into modern Windows and Linux-based workstations or servers, addressing the need for robust and configurable serial communication.
