Description
Digi AccelePort 4r-PCI 50000490-02 4-Port Serial Controller Card w/SUR
The Digi AccelePort 4r-PCI is a 4-port asynchronous serial controller card for the PCI bus, manufactured by Digi International (formerly Digiboard). It is designed to add four independent RS-232 serial ports to a desktop or server system through a single PCI slot, using a DB78 high-density connector on the bracket that connects to an external breakout or fan-out cable/module. The "w/SUR" designation indicates this card includes the SUR (Simultaneous Use of RJ-45) interface module, allowing direct RJ-45 serial connections without a separate octopus cable.

Applications
The AccelePort product line from Digi International was widely used in the mid-to-late 1990s and 2000s to expand serial port capacity in PC servers and workstations running environments such as Windows NT/2000, Linux, and SCO Unix. Typical applications included connecting serial terminals, point-of-sale peripherals, industrial automation devices, modems, and other RS-232 equipment to a single host system. The PCI version replaced earlier ISA-based multiport cards as PCI became the standard expansion bus. AccelePort cards remain in demand for legacy industrial control systems, serial-based data acquisition setups, and environments maintaining older RS-232 peripheral infrastructure where additional COM ports are needed without a USB adapter solution.
This Digi AccelePort 4r-PCI serial controller card (P/N 50000490-02) has been inspected and appears to be in good condition. The PCB shows no cracked traces, damaged components, or bent connector pins. The DB78 bracket connector and PCI edge connector both look clean. Normal light handling wear is present on the board surface. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
