Low profile PCI is similar to standard PCI in terms of protocols, signals, and drivers,
but uses a more compact form factor with a shorter raw card and new mounting bracket.
PCs with low profile PCI are especially popular in the hotel, banking, and retail industry
because of their reduced footprint. They are used to connect peripheral devices such as
cheque readers, credit card readers and barcode readers.
All the products on this page are based on Brainboxes high performance LYNX chip
with massive 128byte FIFO buffers to ensure smooth and reliable data transfer.
Multiport (cabled) low profile cards are supplied with fully moulded cables.
True COM ports
Brainboxes’ low profile PCI cards create real COM ports within Windows.
This means that they will work with all applications.
