Null modem cable - Definition and Overview |
|
|
A null modem is a device that allows one to connect two computers together, typically with only a serial port. No networking hardware such as a NIC or a modem are required for this.
Null modem cable
Also known as a RS-232 cable, a null modem cable is a specially designed cable that allows a user to connect two computers directly to each other via their communications ports (RS-232 ports). Null modems are particularly useful with portable computers because they enable the portable computer to exchange data with a larger system (i.e. a desktop computer or desknote).
