Introduction

The PEX2S1P553B 2S1P PCI Express Serial Parallel Combo Card with Breakout Cable
combines the functionality of Parallel and Serial cards, adding 2 RS232 serial ports and
1 parallel port through a single PCI Express (PCIe) slot.
Suitable for almost any computer, the card offers a low profile/half-height design and
includes an optional full-height bracket. The included break-out cable uses a single
connector on the card to deliver 3 ports, avoiding crowded connections that can occur
with fixed/static ports. Compatible with a broad range of operating systems including
DOS, Windows® 7/Server 2008 R2/Vista/XP/Server 2003/2000/98SE (32/64 bit), Linux
and Mac OS X.
The card also features a native single-chip design that provides improved speed and
reliability while reducing the CPU load by as much as 48% over conventional (bridge
chip) cards.
This product is a replacement for our PEX2S1P552B card.
Backed by a StarTech.com Lifetime warranty and free lifetime technical support.
