The CP-102U and CP-102UL series by Moxa are 2-port universal PCI serial boards designed for POS, ATM, and industrial automation applications. They offer outstanding data throughput with rates up to 921.6 kbps per port and integrate the high-performance Turbo Serial Engine™ chip with 128-byte FIFO and both hardware and software flow control. The boards are fully compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V PCI and PCI-X slots, enabling installation in a wide range of PC systems.

The CP-102UL models feature a space-saving MD1 low-profile design ideal for compact PCs and come with a bundled cable. These boards support a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and UNIX, making them highly versatile. Wide-temperature models are also available for deployment in harsh environments, supporting -40 to 85 °C operating ranges.
