 Ports:

            A port is an interface or connection point through which peripheral devices connect to the computer . A peripheral devices is a component such as monitor or keyboard that connect to the computer. A computer has different types of port to connect different devices. Each types of port operates at a certain speed. The speed can be measured in kilobits per second (kbps) ' megabits per second (Mbps) ' or gigabits per second (Gbps).

        Port use different types of connect . a connector joins the cabal to a port. The connector at the end of a cabal is attached to the port . The connector at the other end of cabal is attached a port on the peripheral devices. 

       Types of port:

                       Different types of ports are as follows:

       Serial ports;

                           A types of interface that transmits one bit at a time a called serial port. It is usually used to connect devices that do not requires fast data transmission like mouse and keyboard etc. serial ports are often know as communications (COM) ports.

         Serial port were one of the earliest ports used in the computer. A serial  connect is used to plug into a serial ports some serial port used 25-pin connector for their serial ports.

         parallel ports:

                                 A types of interface that transmits many bits at a time is called parallel ports. It is used to connect devices that transfer many bits at a time and require fast data transmission like printer and scanner etc.
