StarTech.com 4-Port Serial PCIe Card, Quad-Port RS232/RS422/RS485 Card, 16C1050 UART, ESD Protection, Windows/Linux, TAA-Compliant - 4-Port PCIe Serial Card features on-board DIP switches allowing each DB9 port to operate in RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 independently; Jumpers provide the option of 12V/5V/RI @ 1.5A per port; Includes Low-Profile Brackets; Supports Windows/Linux Add serial communication support to a desktop computer or Small Form Factor (SFF) system, using this 4-Port Serial PCI Express Card. The four DB9 ports can be independently configured to support RS-232, RS-422, and 2/4-wire RS-485 standards, for communication with compliant serial peripheral devices. Per-Port Serial Configuration This PCIe Serial Card is equipped with on-board DIP switches, enabling each DB9 serial port to operate in RS-232, RS-422, and/or RS-485 mode(s). The card features LED indicators per port, providing real-time monitoring of port activity. Configurable External SATA Power The PCI Express Serial Adapter Card features three power modes that are configurable via on-board jumpers, including 12V (1.5A per port), 5V (1.5A per port), or no power (RI), over pin 9. Legacy Connectivity This serial card enables the continued use of legacy serial devices, preventing down time and avoiding costly upgrades. The 4-Port PCIe Serial Card is an ideal system upgrade for a wide range of applications (e.g., point-of-sale terminals, PLCs, factory control and automation, scientific sensors, medical equipment, scanners, and oscilloscopes) Features 4-PORT PCIE SERIAL CARD: On-board DIP switches allow each DB9 serial port to operate in its own independent mode, enabling the connection of RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 devices; LED indicators to monitor data transmit/receive status CONFIGURABLE POWER: Quad-Port PCI Express Serial Adapter Card features configurable power of 12V (1.5A per port), 5V (1.5A per port), or no power (RI) over pin 9 via auxil
