Serial Communications Data cables for physical connections

About Serial Communications

Data cables are used to physically connect two devices so that data can be transmitted between them. For example, a data cable may be used to connect a data logger to a communication peripheral, a data logger to a computer, a computer to a communication peripheral, or one communication peripheral to another.
