Introduction
The StarTech.com 4-Port ExpressCard to RS232 Serial Adapter Card adds four DB9
RS232 serial ports to a laptop or ExpressCard enabled desktop computer system.
Based on a single-chip architecture (as opposed to cards that use a “bridge chip”), thus
providing native PCI Express communication for greater performance and reliability,
as well as reduced power consumption and a CPU load reduction of up to 48%.
Compatible with ExpressCard/34 and ExpressCard/54 card slots, this card includes a
stabilizer bracket for greater security while installed in 54mm slots.
