Introduction
The PEX1S1P952 ‘1S1P’ Native PCI Express Parallel/Serial Combo Card with 16950 UART
turns a PCI Express (PCIe) slot into one RS232 (DB9) serial, and one Parallel port.
The adapter card features a native PCI Express single chip design that allows you to
take advantage of full PCI Express capability, providing improved speed and reliability
while reducing the load applied to the CPU by as much as 48% over conventional serial
cards using a bridge chip design.
This 1-Port Serial 1-Port Parallel card offers compatibility with a broad range of
operating systems including Windows® (32/64-bit) and Linux, for easy integration into
mixed environments. The card also features an optional low profile/half-height bracket
that allows the card to be installed in virtually any computer case, regardless of form
factor.
