Computers use of relatively short parallel connections between interior components but use a serial bus to convert signals for most external communications. -With a serial connection information is sent across one wire one data bit at a time. The 9-pin serial connector on most PCs uses two loops of wire one in each direction for data communication plus additional wires to control the flow of information. -A parallel connection sends the bits over more wires simultaneously. In the 25-pin parallel port on your PC there are 8 data wires to carry 8 bits simultaneously. The parallel link theoretically transfers data eight times faster than a serial connection. In reality it is often the case that serial links can be clocked considerably faster than parallel links and they achieve a higher data rate Serial and Peralta Communication Stria CcwiHHntoiflon G 55 ------ --------- 1 a dry - -Two factors that affect parallel communications clock skew and crosstalk interference.
