Product information

Description

The StarTech.com 4-port PCI Express RS232 Serial Adapter Card (PEX4S953) adds four DB9 serial ports to a computer via a PCI Express (PCIe) slot, providing native-like serial connectivity with support for baud rates up to 921.6 Kbps. The card is based on the ASIX AX99100 chipset, features a 16950-compatible UART and is compatible with Windows and Linux. It ships with a full-size bracket and an optional low-profile bracket for flexible installation in various system form factors.

Advantages

This PCIe to serial DB9 adapter offers four bi-directional RS232 ports with a 256-byte FIFO for each transmitter and receiver, enabling reliable high-speed serial communication. It supports configurable Pin 9 power (5 V/12 V/none) when external power is provided, and each port can be configured individually. The adapter is PCI Express 1.1 compliant and is supplied with both standard and low-profile brackets for easy installation in different chassis.

Suitable for

Connecting legacy serial devices such as card readers and POS peripherals
Attaching industrial equipment, PLCs and modems
Integrating PIN pads and serial printers in point-of-sale systems
Upgrading workstations or servers that require additional RS232 ports

How to use

Install the adapter into an available PCIe slot on the host computer and secure the appropriate bracket for your chassis. If external power is needed for Pin 9 power output, connect the required power source according to the system documentation. Install drivers for your operating system if needed (Windows and Linux supported) and connect serial devices to the DB9 ports using the included DB44-to-4x DB9 breakout cable or standard serial cables. Configure port settings (baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits) in your OS or application to match the connected devices.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation at high baud rates, use short, shielded serial cables and ensure a stable external power supply when using Pin 9 power. Verify driver compatibility with your specific OS version and test each port after installation to confirm proper communication settings.
