1 Port Low Profile Native RS232 PCIe Serial Card provides a single RS-232 serial port for connecting serial devices to PCIe systems, enhancing serial connectivity.
The 1 Port Low Profile Native RS232 PCIe Serial Card is valued for its compact design and ease of installation, but its limited serial port count and potential performance issues are drawbacks.
REASONS TO BUY
Low Profile Design - Ideal for systems with limited space.
Easy Installation - Simple to install and configure.
Cost-Effective - Provides a budget-friendly solution for integrating older serial devices.
CONSIDERATIONS
Limited Serial Port Count - Only offers a single serial port, which may not be sufficient for larger setups.
Potential Performance Issues - Older serial technology might not match the speed of newer interfaces.
No Additional PCIe Slots - Does not provide additional PCIe slots for other expansions.

Overview
The PEX1S553LP PCI Express Serial Card turns a PCI Express slot into an RS232 (DB9) serial connection.
The card is constructed using a native single chip design that lets you harness the full capability offered by PCI Express (PCIe), while reducing the load applied to the CPU by as much as 48% over conventional bridge chip serial cards.
The PCI Express RS232 Serial Adapter Card is compatible with a broad range of operating systems, including Windows® and Linux Kernel 2.6.11 to 4.11.x, and ships with a low profile/half-height bracket installed, but includes an optional full profile bracket that lets you add a serial port to virtually any computer (regardless of the case form factor).
This product is a replacement for our PEX1S552LP card.
Backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
