I/O & Storage Controllers

Upgrade or expand the USB connectivity of a desktop computer or server by adding four independent USB Type-A 5Gbps ports over a single PCI Express 2.0 x4 connection.

Dedicated USB 5Gbps Per Port

When multiple devices are connected, traditional single-bus USB 3.2 Gen 1 cards share the maximum bandwidth across all ports. By employing four host controller chipsets, each port operates on its own independent channel, providing up to 5Gbps to each USB port, reducing performance bottlenecks and effectively quadrupling the total available bandwidth to 20Gbps.

Charge USB Devices

This USB PCIe expansion card can receive supplemental power through SATA or LP4 connectors. It supports the Battery Charging 1.2 (5V 1.5A) specification and provides up to 5V 2A (10W) on the USB Type-A ports when the bus power from the motherboard is insufficient.

Compatibility

The PCI Express USB card drivers auto-install in most major operating systems, including Windows 8 and later, macOS, and Linux. The expansion card supports hardware platforms such as Intel, AMD, and Apple Silicon and fits in PCI Express x4, x8, and x16 slots. Horizontal USB ports enhance compatibility with different computer cases, reduce the risk of port clearance issues, and accommodate a wider range of USB devices and cables.

The PATA2SATA3 is a bi-directional SATA IDE adapter/converter that lets you connect a Serial ATA drive to a legacy IDE port, or an IDE drive to a SATA motherboard port.

A cost-effective solution for upgrading existing IDE systems to support SATA hard drives or optical drives, the SATA/IDE adapter eliminates the expense of having to purchase a controller card while saving the expansion slot that would be required for card installation.

In addition to SATA hard drive installation, the adapter can be reversed in order to connect older IDE drives to a newer SATA-enabled motherboard, making it easy to retrieve old files from a previous system.

This PCI 1x Parallel and 2x Serial Combo Card installs into a single PCI slot in your computer (occupying 2 to 3 expansion slots, depending on profile), and adds a DB25 IEEE 1284 parallel port and two DB9 RS 232 serial ports to your system.

Adds an LPT Parallel Port

The controller card features an Asix MCS9865 chip and enables you to connect a DB25 parallel device to your desktop computer. The parallel port is ideal for connecting printers, scanners, plotters, point-of-sale terminals, PLCs, scientific sensors, medical equipment or oscilloscopes. The parallel (LPT) port supports SPP/Byte/Nibble/ECP/EPP modes and IEEE 1284 for speeds up to 1.5Mbps.

Adds a COM Serial Port

The Asix MCS9865 chip also enables you to connect two DB9 devices using the same controller card, compatible with industry standard 16C550 UART. The serial ports are ideal for connecting point of sale terminals, serial printers, PLCs, control/automation in factories, scientific sensors, medical equipment, scanners and oscilloscopes. The serial (COM) ports support bi-directional RS232 speeds up to 115.2Kbps per port, available 256 byte FIFO buffer & 9th data bit.

Wide Installation Compatibility

With broad OS support, including for Windows (7 and up), and Linux (2.6.x to 5.x LTS versions only), this PCI serial/parallel card is easy to integrate into mixed environments. The card comes pre-configured with 2x full-profile brackets, and includes optional 3x low-profile brackets, so installation is easy regardless of the case form factor.

The PCI2S4851050 2-Port PCI Serial Adapter Card (RS422/RS485) with 161050 UART adds two DB9 RS422/RS485 serial ports, using a single PCI expansion slot.

The PCI serial card offers a high performance 16C1050 UART and supports both 2-wire and 4-wire RS485 modes. The card delivers an efficient single-chip design and a large 256-byte transit/receive FIFO buffer that work together to provide high-speed serial communication while reducing the overall load on the system CPU.

With the included standard and low profile/half-height brackets, this PCI serial expansion card suits a broad range of system form factors, and is a perfect addition for connecting RS422/485 serial devices to a host computer. For added versatility, the RS422/RS485 adapter is able to accommodate 3.3 or 5V PCI/PCI-X slots.
