Product Description

The 46K6734 adapter provides four separate serial communication ports compliant with the EIA-232 standard, designed to fit into PCI Express slots with a low profile form factor. It is commonly found in environments where multiple serial connections are required but space is limited, such as in rack-mounted servers or compact workstations.

Built for IT professionals and system integrators managing legacy devices alongside modern hardware, this adapter offers reliable asynchronous serial communication capabilities without occupying standard full-height slots.

Key Features

  • Four independent serial ports capable of asynchronous communication
  • Compact PCI Express low-profile design allows use in space-constrained systems
  • Data rates supporting up to 115.2 Kbps per port ensure efficient data exchange
  • Compatible with standard EIA-232 serial devices for broad hardware support
  • Uses PCI Express bus for high-speed, low-latency communication with host systems

This adapter plays a practical role in enabling multiple serial connections within limited physical space, maintaining stable and consistent communication channels. Its design supports reliable operation in environments where legacy device connectivity is essential.

Performance and durability are balanced to suit ongoing IT operations that require dependable asynchronous serial communication without adding bulk or complexity to server configurations.


Use Cases

The 46K6734 adapter is well-suited for environments where multiple serial connections are necessary to interface with legacy or specialized equipment.

How It's Used:

  • Connecting industrial machinery that communicates via EIA-232 serial ports
  • Integrating point-of-sale (POS) terminals requiring multiple serial interfaces
  • Linking barcode scanners and printers in retail or warehouse settings
  • Supporting serial console management for network and server equipment
  • Facilitating data acquisition from scientific instruments using serial communication

This adapter provides a reliable and compact solution for extending serial connectivity in IBM-based systems, enabling seamless integration of diverse serial devices.
