SMUGDESK PCIe Serial Parallel Combo Card ASIX AX99100 2×DB9 RS232 + DB25 LPT Data Adapter

SKU CH-15P7-29WBV

Adds two RS232 serial ports and one parallel port to a desktop PC via a single PCIe slot

  • Adds two RS-232 ports and one LPT port via a single PCIe slot
  • AX99100 chip ensures stable long-term data transmission for legacy devices
  • Connects POS terminals, PLCs and serial instruments through dual DB9 ports
  • Standard bracket fits PCIe x1, x4, x8 and x16 slots in desktop cases
  • Drivers included for Windows and Linux systems for quick setup

PCIe legacy I/O expansion

This PCIe combo card adds two DB9 RS232 serial ports and one DB25 parallel port to a modern desktop through a single expansion slot. It targets users who must connect POS terminals, PLCs, serial instruments or older parallel printers to a system that no longer provides those headers natively. The AX99100 controller handles both interfaces on one board.

Bandwidth and slot constraints

The card fits any PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot but operates at the throughput of a single lane, so total bandwidth is shared between the three ports. Heavy simultaneous traffic on both COM ports and the LPT port will contend for that single lane, limiting peak aggregate throughput. Driver support covers Windows and Linux without extra kernel modules.

Port count and device limits

Two independent RS232 channels and one parallel channel let you run a pair of serial devices and a legacy printer at the same time. The design does not add more than two COM ports or a second LPT port, so setups needing three or more serial links or dual parallel printers will require an additional adapter. The standard bracket fits typical desktop chassis.

Questions about this item

Should I choose a card with one serial port or the two RS232 ports shown here?

This model provides two DB9 RS232 ports plus one DB25 parallel port, so you can connect two serial instruments and a legacy printer at the same time.

What does the AX99100 chip actually deliver when the card is installed in my PC?

The AX99100 controller drives both serial ports and the parallel port from a single PCIe lane, giving steady long-term data transmission for POS, PLC and older printers.

Which PCIe slot widths does this adapter fit, and does the bracket match a standard desktop case?

It fits PCIe x1, x4, x8 and x16 slots and uses a standard bracket that aligns with common desktop chassis cut-outs.
