Product information

Description

The StarTech PEX4S953 is a 4-port PCIe RS232 serial adapter card that adds four DB9 serial ports to a computer via a PCI Express slot. Based on the Asix AX99100 chipset with 16950-compatible UART functionality, the card supports data rates up to 921.6 Kbit/s and 256-byte FIFO buffers per transmitter and receiver. It ships with a full-height bracket and an optional low-profile bracket for installation in a wide range of system enclosures and is certified to CE, FCC and WHQL standards.

Advantages

This PCIe to serial adapter provides four independent RS232 ports with 16950 UART compatibility, enabling reliable communication with legacy and industrial serial devices. With support for high baud rates up to 921.6 Kbit/s and 256 B FIFO, the card reduces CPU overhead for bursty serial traffic. The inclusion of both full-height and low-profile brackets simplifies fitting the card into standard and small form-factor systems, while broad OS compatibility and industry certifications help ensure predictable integration in professional environments.

Suitable for

Connecting legacy serial peripherals such as barcode scanners, modems and POS devices
Industrial equipment and automation controllers that require RS232 interfaces
Point-of-sale (POS) systems and payment terminals that use DB9 serial connections
Laboratory and test setups requiring multiple serial ports on a single host

Key specifications

Interface: PCI Express (PCIe) host connection
Serial ports: 4 × RS232 (DB9) ports
UART compatibility: 16950-compatible UART
Maximum baud rate: up to 921.6 Kbit/s
FIFO: 256-byte depth per transmitter and receiver
Power output: 5/12 V available on Pin 9 when external power is connected
Form factor support: full-height and low-profile brackets included
Chipset: Asix AX99100
Compliance: CE, FCC, WHQL
Reliability indicator: Mean time between failures (MTBF) reported

How to use

Install the PEX4S953 into an available PCIe slot on the host system, selecting and attaching the appropriate bracket for the case (full-height or low-profile). If required by your serial devices, connect an external power source to enable 5/12 V output on Pin 9 of the DB9 ports. Install the appropriate drivers for your operating system (Windows or Linux) and verify each COM port is recognized in the OS device manager or serial port listing. Configure serial parameters such as baud rate, data bits, parity and stop bits to match the connected equipment before initiating communication.

Usage recommendations

Match the card’s serial port settings to the attached devices (baud rate up to 921.6 Kbit/s, data bits and parity) and, when using power on Pin 9, confirm the connected peripherals accept the provided voltage. Use manufacturer drivers for your OS to ensure stable operation and consult system logs or device manager entries to troubleshoot port recognition or conflicts.
