Sandhoff Disease

There are several types of computer ports including serial ports, parallel ports, USB ports, FireWire ports, Thunderbolt ports, HDMI ports, eSATA ports, Ethernet ports, and audio ports. Each port type has a different purpose and data transfer speed, with newer ports like Thunderbolt and USB providing much faster speeds than older serial and parallel ports. Common uses of the ports include connecting keyboards, mice, storage devices, displays, and networking equipment to the computer.

Ports
Types of ports:
• Serial ports
• Parallel ports
• USB ports
• Fire wire ports
• Thunderbolt ports
• HDMI ports
• eSATA ports
• Ethernet ports
Ports

• A port is an interface or connection point through which peripheral device


connected to computer. A peripheral device is a component such as monitor or
keyboard that connect to the computer .The speed can be measured in kilobits per
second megabits per second or gigabits per second.
• There are different types of ports.
1.Serial ports

• The serial port is an interface or connection that allows transmission of one bit at
time.
• It has 9 or 25 pins and has slower data transfer rate.
• The speed of serial port is 115kps.
• Serial ports were also known as COM1,COM2,and COM3.
• Serial port has also been replaced by USB ports.
2.Parallel ports

• The parallel port is an interface or connection that allows the transmission of multiple bits
at a time.
• Parallel ports have 25 pins and 8 of these pins are used to carry 1 byte of data.
• The speed of parallel port is 12 Mbps.
• Parallel ports were also known as LPT1,LPT2 and LPT3 ports.
• Parallel ports have been replaced by USB ports.
3.USB ports

• USB port is the most common type of port that is used to connect devices such as
keyboard, mouse, scanner , digital camera, printers ,external hard disk and USB flash
drives etc.
• It can connect up to 127 different peripheral device with a single connector type.
• USB ports hot swapping and plug-and –play.[PnP].
• Hot Swapping is the ability to connect and disconnect device without shutting down the
computer.
• Plug-and-Play enables computer to automatically detect and configure a device when it
connect to the computer.
4.FireWire port

• FireWire is also known as IEEE 1394.It was originally released by Apple in 1995.
• It supports hot-swapping and can connect up to 63 devices per port.
• The original FireWire 400 has a data transfer rate of 400 Mbps.
• The current standard FireWire 800 provides a speed 800 Mbps .
5.Thunderbolt ports

• It is an interconnect technology developed by intel.it is a fastest type of port used to


connect devices to a computer.
• It supports a transfer of speed of up to 40Gbps.
• It can also be used to connect USB and FireWire peripheral using proper adopter.
• Apple was the first company that used this port on its computer .
6.HDMI Port

• HDMI stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface.


• HDMI port provides audio/video interface for transmitting audio and video data.
• the computers ,digital cameras, TV, game consoles, and other media devices have at least
one HDMI port.
• It transmit high quality audio-video data in digital form through a single cable.
7.e SATA port

• It is stands for external serial Advanced Technology Attachment.


• An eSATA port is used to connect an external SATA hard disk to a computer .
• SATA hard disks are popular because of their fast data transmission speeds.
• eSATA connections provide up to six times faster data transmission speed can external
hard disk attached to USB or FireWire port.
8.Ethernet port

• Ethernet port is used to connect a computer to local network or cable modem.


• Ethernet originally offered a transfer rate of 10 Mbps.
• Fast Ethernet [called 100Base-T] provide a transfer rate of 100 Mbps.
• Gigabit Ethernet provides a higher speed of transmission with transfer rate of 1 Gbps. 8
9.Audio port

• Audio port is used to connect headphones ,microphone and speaker to a computer .
