Computer Science for IGCSE & O level - Data Transmission (Section 8 - No. 18)
What is the relationship between serial and parallel data transmission in the context of distance?
Serial is better for longer distances
Parallel is better for longer distances.
Both are equally suitable for any distance.
Neither is suitable for long-distance transmission.
Paliwanag
Serial transmission is generally preferred for longer distances due to reduced cost and complexity.
