Dual RS232 via PCIe
This SMUGDESK expansion card adds two independent DB9 serial ports to a desktop through a single PCIe slot. It targets technicians maintaining POS terminals, PLCs, barcode scanners or monitoring controllers that still rely on legacy COM connectivity. The board fits standard brackets and works in any x1, x4, x8 or x16 lane. Drivers cover Windows 10 and common Linux distributions.
Thermals and power
The MCS9922 controller runs without active cooling and draws minimal power from the slot itself. No external connectors or auxiliary cables are required, so the card adds negligible heat or acoustic load inside the chassis. Stable transmission is maintained during extended sessions thanks to the chip’s integrated buffering.
Driver and bracket impact
Bundled drivers enable immediate port recognition on supported operating systems without manual INF editing. The low-profile bracket is pre-fitted for standard cases; a half-height bracket is not included, so slim enclosures may need a separate adapter. No management software or configuration utilities ship with the card.

Questions about this item
How do I install the SMUGDESK PCIe serial card in a standard desktop, and which bracket size should I use?
Insert the card into any free PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot; the supplied standard PCIe bracket matches regular desktop chassis, so no low-profile bracket is required.
Will the MCS9922 chip or the DB9 ports need periodic replacement or firmware updates?
The MCS9922 controller and DB9 connectors are solid-state with no moving parts or user-serviceable firmware, so no scheduled maintenance or component replacement is expected.
At what sustained throughput does the RS232 link hit its ceiling on this card?
Each port tops out at the standard RS232 maximum of 921.6 Kbps; the on-chip buffer prevents overruns but cannot exceed that baud-rate ceiling.
