## Long description

The StarTech.com PEX8S1050 is an 8-port PCI Express RS-232 serial adapter card that adds eight DB9 serial ports to a standard desktop or server via a PCIe x1 slot. The card uses a 16C1050-compatible UART, offers per-port speeds up to 921.6 Kbps, and includes 15kV ESD protection. A DB62-to-8x-DB9 breakout cable and mounting hardware are included for straightforward installation and connection of serial peripherals.
Advantages
This PCIe serial card provides eight bi-directional RS-232 DB9 ports with a 256-byte FIFO buffer and support for high baud rates up to 921.6 Kbps per port. It includes configurable pin 9 power (12V/5V/none) with up to 3 A total shared, integrated 15kV ESD protection, and a full-profile PCIe 1x form factor compliant with PCI Express Base Specifications 1.0a/1.1. The package contains an 18" (48 cm) DB62 to 8x DB9 breakout cable and hex nuts for secure DB9 connections.
Suitable for
Connecting serial printers and scanners
Point-of-sale devices (card readers, PIN pads)
Modem and legacy serial communications
Industrial controls and automation equipment
