Conceptronic PCI Express Card 2-Port Serial

The Conceptronic PCI Express Card 2-Port Serial adds two RS-232 serial ports to a PCI Express–capable desktop computer. It uses a PCIe host interface and provides reliable serial communication for legacy and industrial devices, supporting efficient data handling with a 256-byte FIFO buffer and a maximum data transfer rate of 2.5 Gbit/s. The card is compact (59 mm x 1.6 mm x 78 mm) and designed for internal installation in standard desktop systems.

Advantages

This PCI Express card delivers two additional serial ports without requiring external converters, features an RS-232 output interface compatible with many serial devices, and includes a 256 B FIFO buffer to improve throughput and reduce CPU overhead. Its PCIe host interface ensures stable connectivity in modern motherboards, and the compact green PCB fits typical desktop expansion slots.

Suitable for

• Connecting serial printers and POS equipment
• Linking ISDN terminals and legacy industrial devices
• Adding RS-232 ports for control systems and testing rigs

How to use

Power down the desktop PC, open the case and insert the Conceptronic PCI Express Card into an available PCIe slot on the motherboard. Secure the card with the slot screw and close the case. Boot the system and install any required drivers provided by the motherboard or Conceptronic if the operating system does not automatically recognize the card. Connect RS-232 devices to the card’s serial ports using appropriate serial cables and configure port settings (baud rate, parity, stop bits) in your operating system or application.

Recommendations

Use shielded serial cables for reliable communication in electrically noisy environments, verify driver compatibility with your OS before installation, and avoid hot-plugging serial devices to prevent data errors.
