Parallel
Posted on March 7, 2013 by KVMG-CMS | 0 comments
Refers to a type of interface where the signal lines are running over multiple channels running parallel to each other. Think of parallel as a multi-lane highway for data. Common parallel interfaces are IEEE-1284, SCSI, and ATA. Parallel cables are typically thicker and larger because of the number of conductors necessary. Opposite of serial.
