It refers to the 25-pin or 9-pin male serial port on the back of a PC.
"A serial port conforms to the interface standard called RS-232c (Reference Standard 232 revision c), which is why a serial port is sometimes called the RS-232 port. The maximum cable length for a serial cable according to RS-232 standards is 50 feet. This interface standard originally called for 25 pins, but because microcomputers use only nine of those pins, manufacturers often installed a modified 9-pin port."

What do you use in laptop - rs232 or rs485?
rs232
What are the Differences between RS232 and RS449?
rs232 isfaster than rs449
Make USB to RS232 converter?
Yes, you can get a USB to RS232 converter (aka USB to Serial).
What is the difference between rs232 and rs485 port?
Difference between Rs232 and RS485 is Only Distance RS232 is not for long or far distance .. but RS485 can be use for LONGEST distance ..RS232 is single ended communication where as RS485 is Differential communication.Max.no of receivers in RS232 is only ONE, whereas in RS485 is 32.Max.no of transmitters in RS232 is only ONE whereas in RS485 is 32.IN RS232 there is no pin to change from transmitter mode receiver mode. But, In RS485 have DE pin to set transmitter mode and RI to set receiver mode.
Where can one purchase RS232 cable?
One can purchase a RS232 cable at most electronic stores. A few common examples of stores that have RS232 cables for sale are Best Buy, Radio Shack, and Fry's.
Full form of RS in RS232?
RS232 means "Recommended standard no. 232", EIA standard for serial communication Thirumalesha.....
Is rs232 synchronous or asynchronous?
It can be either.
What is 232 in RS232 and MAX232?
The difference between max232 and rs232 is the voltage levels of the rs232 are high. In order to reduce those voltage means to convert those voltage levels to TTL logic levels we use max232 integrated chip which is a dual driver/ receiver.
Why the name RS232?
Because R2D2 was already taken!
What is the bit rate of the RS232 signal from the computer?
i think its 96000BPS
How can you link RS232 serial data on COM1 to output on COM2?
Yes on a modern computer you will need a USB to 9 pin RS232 converter or previously use the LPT parallel port.
Captiveworks error A000 et puis E011?
Possible bad RS232.
