2. Serial port - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_port

   The 9-pin DE-9 connector has been used by most IBM-compatible PCs since the Serial/Parallel Adapter option for the PC-AT, where the 9-pin connector allowed a serial and parallel port to fit on the same card. [4] This connector has been standardized for RS-232 as TIA-574.

3. RS-232 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS-232

   The current version of the standard is TIA-232-F Interface Between Data Terminal Equipment and Data Circuit-Terminating Equipment Employing Serial Binary Data Interchange, issued in 1997. The RS-232 standard had been commonly used with serial ports and serial cables. It is still widely used in industrial communication devices.

4. Null modem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_modem

   A null modem adapter. Null modem is a communication method to directly connect two DTEs (computer, terminal, printer, etc.) using an RS-232 serial cable.The name stems from the historical use of RS-232 cables to connect two teleprinter devices or two modems in order to communicate with one another; null modem communication refers to using a crossed-over RS-232 cable to connect the teleprinters ...

5. RS-422 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS-422

   This was implemented in a multi-pin connector that had enough pins to support the majority of the common RS-232 pins; the first models used a 9-pin D connector, but this was quickly replaced by a mini-DIN-8 connector. The ports could be put into either RS-232 or RS-422 mode, which changes the behavior of some of the pins while turning others on ...

6. Data Carrier Detect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Carrier_Detect

   Data Carrier Detect (DCD) or Carrier Detect (CD) is a control signal present inside an RS-232 serial communications cable that goes between a computer and another device, such as a modem. This signal is a simple "high/low" status bit that is sent from a data communications equipment (DCE) to a data terminal equipment (DTE), i.e., from the modem ...

7. Serial cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_cable

   Serial cables are typically used for RS-232 communication. A serial cable or RS-232 cable is a cable used to transfer information between two devices using a serial communication protocol. The form of connectors depends on the particular serial port used. A cable wired for connecting two DTEs directly is known as a null modem cable.
