Compare serial and Parallel ports. Detail give in tabular form.
Hi,
The solution is here:
Serial Ports |
Parallel Ports |
Used for serial communication (bit by bit sequences) |
Used for Parallel communication (multi bit parallel) |
Can transmit 1 bit at a time |
Can transmit 8 bits or more at a time |
Slower data transmission |
Faster data transmission |
Transmits a single stream of data |
Transmits several streams of data simultaneously |
Uses less wires for transmission |
Uses more wires for transmission

Hey Jessiebannon,
In the current decade USB ports have replaced parallel/serial port confusion. But still they are not vanished out permanently. Anyways as you need the information, we are here to share it.
So here is the difference.
Parallel Ports: | Serial Ports: |
Whole byte transmission | Bit by bit transmission |
Example: LPT printer | Example: Modem, com port |
Parallel connector has more pins | Serial port uses less pins |
Can connect devices up to 6 feet | Can connect devices up to 10 feet |
Uses single loop for transmission | Different loop for outgoing and incoming |
Hope that’s enough to know. Have a good day.
