Internal Serial Adapter GEMBIRD SPC-22 PCIe RS-232 Low-profile, WCH382, 16000 Kbit/s, 67×120×20 mm, black

The Gembird SPC-22 is an internal serial adapter that adds two high-speed RS-232 serial ports to a PC with an available PCI-Express slot. Designed in a low-profile black housing, the card uses the WCH382 chipset and fits compact systems while providing standard serial connectivity for legacy devices and industrial equipment.

Advantages

The adapter provides two reliable serial ports via a PCIe interface, supports a maximum data transfer rate of 0.002 Gbit/s and a baud rate up to 16000 Kbit/s, and is compatible with Windows 10, 8 and 7. Its low-profile form factor and small dimensions (67 × 120 × 20 mm) make it suitable for space-constrained computer cases, and the black finish integrates unobtrusively into most systems.

Suitable for

• Connecting legacy RS-232 devices such as modems, barcode scanners and laboratory instruments
• Industrial and automation equipment that requires serial communication
• Adding serial ports to desktop PCs and small form-factor systems with a free PCIe slot

How to use

Power down your PC and unplug it from the mains. Open the computer case, insert the SPC-22 into an available PCI-Express slot and secure it with the bracket screw. Reassemble the case and power on the system. Install the appropriate drivers for the WCH382 chipset on Windows 10, 8 or 7 if they do not install automatically. Connect serial devices to the adapter's ports and configure COM port settings in Device Manager or the relevant application.

Recommendations

Ensure the system BIOS/UEFI has PCIe slots enabled and check for driver updates from the chipset manufacturer if communication issues occur. For compact cases, verify clearance for the low-profile bracket before installation.
