Equinox Systems Inc. has announced its new low-profile SST-4P/LP universal serial adapter with 3.3V and 5.0V PCI bus support. This new addition to Equinox's proven SST Multiport Adapter Series gives retail and hospitality businesses the ability to add ports in newer, low profile workstations. The SST-4P/LP, priced at $445, connects up to 4 ports to one bus slot in your server.

"The new SST-4P/LP adapter is designed for retailers adopting low profile workstations for their POS stations," said Mitch Friend, Equinox's Director of Sales.
