Now a days all components are come with USB ports
 Parallel Ports

• Developed by IBM
• Having 25 pins.
• Used to connect the printers.
• It is also called as DB-25 (D-Sub) connector.
• It sends 8-bit (1-byte ) of data at a time.
• The standard parallel port is capable of sending 50 to 100
kilobytes of data per second.
• It works in between 2.8 and 5 volts of power.
Parallel Port Pin Configuration
Serial Port
 Features of Serial Port
serial port can be either 9 pins or 25 pins
primary use of a serial port was to connect a
modem to your computer
It works between +3 v to +25 volts
It sends one bit at a time.
The serial port capable of transmitting 115
kilobits per second.
It is also called as Male Port or Rs-232
 PS/2 Ports
• It is developed by IBM
• It is used to connect
Mouse or Keyboard.
• It containing 6 pins
• It Works at Maximum
speed of 12 Mega Bytes
per second.
