Ports

1. Serial Ports

A serial port is a connector by which a device that sends data one bit at a time may be connected to a computer.

2. Parallel Ports

A parallel port is a connector for a device that sends or receives several bits of data simultaneously by using more than one wire.

Introduction

4. AGP Ports

5. Infrared Port (IR)

3. Universal Serial Bus (USB) Ports

The Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) was designed as a high-speed point-to-point channel for attaching a video card to a computer system, primarily to assist in the acceleration of 3D computer graphics.

In computer networking, a port is an endpoint of communication. Physical as well as wireless connections are terminated at ports of hardware devices. At the software level, within an operating system, a port is a logical construct that identifies a specific process or a type of network service.

A USB port is a standard cable connection interface for personal computers and consumer electronics devices. USB ports allow USB devices to be connected to each other with and transfer digital data over USB cables.

A port that enables devices to exchange data without using cables. Usually, you'd attach a dongle to a serial port, but with infrared ports, you can place the devices across from each other (so the infrared ports are facing) and "beam" your info instantaneously.

6. Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances (using short-wavelength UHF radio waves in the ISM band from 2.4 to 2.485 GHz) from fixed and mobile devices, and building personal area networks (PANs).

7. PS - 2 Port

The PS/2 port is a 6-pin mini-DIN connector used for connecting keyboards and mice to a PC compatible computer system. Its name comes from the IBM Personal System/2 series of personal computers, with which it was introduced in 1987
