Introduction
The PCI4S954PW 4-Port PCI Serial Card (with Power Output) turns a PCI slot into 4
RS232 (DB9) serial connections and enables compatible devices to draw power from
the serial ports.
Suitable for many RS232-powered serial applications, this PCI serial card offers a selectable
5V or 12V power option capable of power output using pin 1, 4, 8 or 9, allowing you to
configure the card to suit the requirements of your powered RS232 devices.
A flexible solution for adding serial ports to full-sized, or small form factor systems,
the 4-port serial card includes both low and full profile brackets while the included
breakout cable helps to avoid cluttered connections.
