RS232compliant
RS232compliant refers to hardware or interfaces that conform to the RS-232 serial communication standard. RS-232, standardized as RS-232-C by the Electronics Industries Association and later maintained in various editions, defines the electrical and mechanical characteristics for serial data exchange between data terminal equipment (DTE) and data communications equipment (DCE). Compliance indicates that devices can connect and communicate using a traditional serial port arrangement over copper wiring.
Electrical signaling and levels: The standard specifies single-ended, bipolar signaling in which logical states are represented
Connectors and pinouts: RS-232 commonly uses DE-9 (9-pin) or DB-25 (25-pin) D-sub connectors. Essential signals include
Data format and speed: Asynchronous transmission is typically 7 or 8 data bits, with parity options (even,
Modern usage and compatibility: Although USB and Ethernet have largely supplanted RS-232 in consumer devices, RS-232
