What is a serial cable used for?

A serial cable is a cable used to transfer information between two devices using a serial communication protocol. The form of connectors depends on the particular serial port used. A cable wired for connecting two DTEs directly is known as a null modem cable. Serial cables are typically used for RS-232 communication.

How long can you run a serial cable?

Serial (RS-232) – The maximum cable length that we suggest is 50 feet. At lengths greater than 50 feet, there may be a loss in signal integrity which may affect data.

Are serial cables still used today?

Serial ports might be slow and not much use to most computer users these days, but thanks to their simplicity and reliability these ports may be with us for a long time yet. While the parallel port is now safely buried in the grave of obsolescence, it may seem odd that the humble, slow serial port is still around. Many industrial, scientific, and telecommunications applications continue to rely on serial cables for their reliability.

Are RS-232 cables still used?

Although RS-232 had been replaced by universal serial bus (USB), Ethernet and wireless technologies for connecting peripheral devices, such as modems, printers and mice, to computers, it remains in use in many industrial, scientific and telecommunications applications because of its reliability.

What is the difference between VGA and serial cable?

VGA ports (Video Graphic Array connectors) connect the monitor to a computer's video card. VGA ports have 15 holes and are similar in appearance to serial port connectors. However, VGA ports have holes, while serial port connectors have pins.
