16 RS232 DB9 ports for low or full-profile systems
This accessory adds sixteen RS232 serial ports with DB9 connectors to a computer. It fits both low-profile and full-profile chassis without modification. The card is suited for industrial automation, legacy equipment control or any environment that still relies on serial communication.
Sustained multi-port serial throughput
Each of the sixteen ports operates independently under continuous load so multiple devices can transmit simultaneously without contention. The design maintains stable signal levels over long cable runs typical in factory or laboratory settings. No active cooling is required and the board draws power solely from the expansion slot.

Questions about this item
How much power does the 16-port RS232 card draw when running continuously?
The adapter is bus-powered through the PCI Express slot, so it draws only what the slot provides without needing an external power connector.
What slot type must the computer already have for this 16-port RS232 card to work?
A free PCI Express x1 or larger slot is required, plus a low-profile or full-height bracket depending on your chassis.
