Product information

Description

The StarTech.com 16-Port Low-Profile PCI Express serial card (PEX16S550LP) adds sixteen RS232 DB9 ports to a desktop or server using a single PCI Express slot. Designed for low-profile and full-profile systems, the card uses two 8-port breakout cables to provide a high-density serial connection for legacy and industrial devices. It is PCI Express 1.0a compliant, uses an ASMedia-based chipset, and supports Windows operating systems.

Advantages

This serial card provides a compact, high-density solution that expands a system with 16 RS232 DB9 ports while occupying only one PCIe slot. It supports high-speed serial communication up to 921.6 Kbps, offers IRQ sharing and plug-and-play connectivity for easy device integration, and includes both low-profile (preinstalled) and full-profile brackets for compatibility with a wide range of chassis.

Suitable for

Connecting POS terminals and receipt printers
Integrating manufacturing and industrial control equipment
Linking security and surveillance devices such as cameras
Building automation and environmental control systems
Legacy serial devices in servers and compact desktop systems

How to use

Install the serial card into an available PCIe slot (x1 or larger) on the target desktop or server and secure it with the appropriate bracket for your chassis. Connect the two included 8-port breakout cables to provide access to the 16 DB9 serial ports. After installing the card, power on the system and allow Windows to detect and configure the device; install any required drivers if prompted. Connect your RS232 devices to the DB9 ports and verify communication using your device management or terminal software.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use quality shielded DB9 cables for serial connections and verify baud rate and serial settings (parity, data bits, stop bits, flow control) match between the host and connected devices. Ensure the chassis has an available PCIe slot and that you select the correct bracket before installation.
