    In computer hardware, a port serves as an interface between the computer and other computers or peripheral devices.

    Electronically, hardware ports can almost always be divided into two groups based on the signal transfer:

    1. Serial port : send and receive one bit at a time via a sinle wire pair
    2. Paralle ports : send multiple bits at the same time over several sets of wires

    After ports are connected, they typically require handshaking, where transfer type, transfer rate, and other necessary information is shared before data is sent.

    Hot-swappable ports can be connected while equipment is running. Almost
