With USB technology that is made available these days, gone are the times when upgrades meant only internal changes to your computer, especially when it came to storage. Since each computer has a lot of USB ports available, it is easy to use them for a number of purposes that would not be possible if for the following products.
Take for example, the USB serial cable, which can connect all your communication and computing devices that would need a serial port in order to hook up with your computer, and now is made possible due to this unassuming little cable.
The USB extension cable is another brilliant choice especially if one has to work with USB peripheral that are located at a distance. One can find these extension cables at 10 and 16 feet while also connect five more of these cables to one another serially just in case further distance is required.
Finally, the USB serial adapter is another device that converts your USB into serial ports so that one can plug in serial devices into your computer with plug-and-play and hot plug features as well. Some of these devices that one can use are modems, handheld & pocket PCs, digital cameras, serial printers and so on and so forth.
So if you are indeed running short of serial ports, you don’t have to worry about it as USB technology will help you solve this fixable problem in no time!
