CoolGear 8-Port RS-232 PCI Express Serial Board with Oxford Chip

The PCI Express Add on Card supports RS232 serial connections through an octopus cable enabling 8 additional COM ports to your system through the PCI Bus. The PCI card itself uses a 62-pin cable connector to enable the 8 serial ports. Uses 62-pin connector to secure the octopus cable to the PCI card. Supports 8 separate RS232 Serial connections. Uses existing computer PCI Bus slot.

Works with Windows 10, 8, 8.1, 7, Vista, XP, 2003, 2000, and Linux.

Description:

The PCIe-8RS2 PCI Express 8-port serial I/O card is a plug & play high-speed serial I/O expansion card for PCI Express bus.

The PCIe 8-port serial I/O card design utilizes the Exar XR17V358 PCI Express to UART chip.

The PCIe add on card supports high-speed data rate up to 921.6 Kbps.

Each serial port is compatible with 16550 UART, with enhanced feature of 256-byte TX and RX FIFO buffer for higher performance.
