Express Card: Dual Port Serial


Plug-n-Play!  5-Year Manufacturer Warranty!

 
This serial (RS-232) Express card gives your computer 2 (two) additional serial ports through one card.  This is the best possible solutions for computer users who need a connection for both their writer and a client output feed, but do not have a PCMCIA Card Slot on their computer.

 

PCIe based - not USB based like other cards

This card belongs to Quatech's "Performance Series," promising perfect functionality at faster speeds and efficiency than other card protocols. It also means that it operates based on PCIe power control and design core rather than USB. The PCI-e design allows the card to directly use I/O space addresses and interrupts, thus more closely emulates built-in ports than can be done via USB-based design. Moreover, because there's no USB stack for the drivers to contend with, throughput can be higher and latency will be lower (considerably so in many cases). Being expresscard-34, this card will work in both expresscard-34 and expresscard-54 slots.

IMPORTANT:  Please contact your computer manufacturer to determine what type of adapter you need before ordering an EXPRESS or PCMCIA CARD.  It is difficult to determine what type of card is appropriate by the computer port's physical appearance alone.  If you have both a PCMCIA and EXPRESS card slot, PCMCIA cards are recommended.
