Computer Science for IGCSE & O level - Data Transmission (Section 14 - No. 28)
What is a key advantage of using serial data transmission over parallel transmission, particularly concerning the cabling?
Higher data transfer rates
Uses fewer wires, simplifying cabling and reducing cost
More resistant to electrical interference
Transmits data simultaneously in both directions
Maelezo
Serial transmission utilizes fewer wires, making cabling simpler and more cost-effective, especially over long distances.
