ACCES I/O's PCI Express multiport serial communication cards deliver eight (PCIe-COM232-8) or four (PCIe-COM232-4), high-speed, RS-232 ports for use in a wide variety of applications. The cards are designed to offer serial compatibility with the PCI Express bus and to be used by system integrators and manufacturers in the design of industrial and commercial systems. Each RS-232 port is capable of supporting data rates up to 921.6kbps and implements full modem control signals to ensure compatibility with a broad variety of serial devices. Existing serial peripherals can connect directly to the industry standard DB9M connectors which are provided on the breakout cable that ships with each card. The card features a x1 lane PCI Express connector which can be used in any available x1, x2, x4, x8, x12, or x16 PCI Express expansion slot. The card is 4.7 inches in length and 2.2 inches in height and complies with the MD1 Low Profile Form Factor specifications (the smallest PCI Express card available). Low profile PCI Express allows the design of small footprint, low profile systems while still offering expandability and upgradeability to the end user. A regular profile mounting bracket is installed for use in standard size computers, while a low profile bracket is provided for smaller systems which require the use of low profile PCI Express cards.
