The Moxa CP-102E/102EL Series features high-performance 2-port RS-232 PCI Express boards, ideal for industrial applications as well as POS and ATM systems. Offering full modem control signal support and baudrates up to 921.6 kbps, these boards ensure fast and reliable communication over serial interfaces.
The CP-102E is a standard form factor PCIe board with two DB9 male ports, while the CP-102EL is a low-profile version that fits compact PCs and embedded systems. Both models support a wide range of operating systems and are equipped with built-in LEDs for monitoring Tx and Rx activity—making diagnostics simple and efficient.
These boards are PCIe x1 compliant, allowing installation into any available PCI Express slot. This flexibility, combined with robust driver support for Windows, Linux, and UNIX, makes the CP-102E/EL series a future-ready solution for system integrators and industrial automation engineers.
