InLine 76619E Interface Adapter — Serial/Parallel Connectivity Accessory

Reliable serial communication:Four independent RS-232 interfaces in D-Sub 9 format enable simultaneous connection of multiple devices.
Industrial-grade chipset:The CH384L controller offers stable transmission at up to 921,600 bps and supports all important RS-232 signals.
Flexible integration:The PCIe x1 card fits into modern computers and is compatible with PCIe v2.0 and higher – including low-profile slot brackets.
High-quality signal processing:A 256-byte FIFO buffer and ±15 kV ESD protection ensure secure and interference-free data transmission.
Broad operating system support:Compatible with Windows 7 to 11, Windows Server 2008 R2 and higher, and common Linux distributions from kernel 2.6.30 onwards.

The InLine® PCIe 4-Port RS-232 Card is the ideal solution for expanding modern PCs and industrial applications with four additional serial interfaces. Each of the four ports uses the proven D-Sub 9 format and supports a wide range of serial signals, including TXD, RXD, RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR, DCD, and RI.
Thanks to the powerful CH384L chipset, the card enables reliable transmissions with flexible baud rates up to 921,600 bps. The integrated FIFO buffer with 256 bytes per direction ensures that stable connections are maintained even under high data loads. This makes the card the first choice for professional applications such as machine control, measurement technology, network management, or POS systems.
The PCIe x1 interface guarantees easy integration into existing systems. The card is compatible with both standard and low-profile housings – corresponding slot brackets are included in the scope of delivery. Integrated ESD protection up to ±15 kV protects the interfaces from electrostatic discharge.
Whether in industry or for demanding hobby projects, this card combines proven technology with modern interface architecture. It is suitable for current Windows versions as well as many Linux distributions and offers a wide range of applications for professional and semi-professional users.

How to use

Install the card into an available PCIe x1 slot (or larger PCIe slot) on the host computer, selecting the appropriate full-size or low-profile bracket included with the product. Attach serial devices using standard D-Sub 9 cables to the four RS-232 ports. Install device drivers supplied on the driver CD or download current drivers for your operating system. Configure serial port parameters (baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity, flow control) in the host OS or application to match the connected devices.

Recommendations

Verify cable quality and shielded D-Sub 9 connectors for long runs or electrically noisy environments, and ensure correct serial settings (baud rate, parity, flow control) on both ends to maintain stable communication. For industrial installations, mount the card in a grounded chassis and avoid exposing it to temperatures or humidity beyond the specified ranges.
