Ports
Transcript: There are several different types of ports, each of them serving different purposes such as serial port, parallel port, etc. USB(Universal Serial Bus) Ports Presented by :- Shivanshu Kalia Class :-XI-D 25-pin Parallel Ports DIN is short for Deutsches Insitut fiir Normung eV, the standards seting organisation for Germany. A DIN connectors is a connector that conforms to one of the many standards defined by DIN. DIN computers are widely used in PC's. A 6-pin Mini-DIN connector used for connecting some keyboards and mice to a PC compatible computer system. PS/2 portis female while the mini-DIN cable is male. the connector is small with a diameter of about (9.5mm). What is a port A parallel port is a type of interface found on computers (personal and otherwise) for connecting peripherals. In computing, a parallel port is a parallel communication physical interface. It can send and receive a byte at a time. They are used to connect printer, scanner CD writer, etc An infrared port is a port on an electronic device that sends and receives information via infrared light. Such ports were once widely used on wireless devices to enable rapid and easy communication with networked devices, base stations, and other equipment. They have been largely replaced by radio frequency (RF) technology because it is more powerful and flexible. Older systems may have infrared ports installed, and they can also be seen on devices like television remotes. The maximum effective distance is some what less than 1.5 miles and the maximum projected bandwidth is 16 Mbps FireWire is Apple Computer's version of standard, IEEE 1934, High Performance Serial Bus , for connecting devices to your PC. FireWire provides a single plug-and-socket connection on which up to 63 devices can be attached with data transfer speed up to 400Mbps The AGP(Accelerated Graphics Port) port is used to connect to graphic card that provides high-speed video performance typically required in games other multimedia applications. AGP Ports An interface, which allows you to connect different sorts of devices to your computer. There are ports that are external, and internal within the computer. Internal- ports for connecting disk drives, screen display, as well as keyboards. External- ports for connecting modems, printers, mice, and other devices that are not physically a part of the computer As the name suggests, the serial port transfers data serially a bit at a time. As a result, the serial ports needs only wire to transmit 8 bits. The disadvantage is that it takes 8 times longer to transmit a byte. Serial ports come in the form of 9-pin or 25-pin male connector. Serial ports are often known as communication ports or RS232C ports. Bluetooth PS-2 Ports 25-pin Serial Ports 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). It can connect several devices, overcoming problems of synchronization. The maximum range in 10 meters. the technology got its name in honor of Harald Bluetooth, King of Denmark in the mid-tenth cent. FireWire To spare the user botheration of 8-pin, 25-pin, male , female connectors, the USB has been designed. It gives you a single, standardized, easy to use way to connect a variety of devices to a computer. These devices include printer, speakers, mice, joystick, etc. InfraRed Port (IR Port) Ports FireWire is quite popular on audio and video devices like digital camcorders. 9-pin
