USB Infrared Technology
Apart from the whole internet revolution thing, who knew that the USB Bus could become one of the most important additions to a computer with its use these days ranging from connecting infrared devices to serial ports and even to video adapters?
For example, USB infrared adapters help you connect infrared enabled devices to your PC or notebook that you otherwise couldn’t because you did not have an infrared port on your computer. With these adapters, one can easily go wireless not unless you already have opted for Bluetooth or Wifi which seems to be the rage these days.
Another interesting USB product is the USB serial adapter which can convert any USB Bus into serial ports that one can use to connect a host of communication and computing devices. Not only do they convert them one USB port into a serial port but can split them up into 2, 4, 8 and 16 serial ports as well.
Finally, the USB video adapter can help you connect an additional monitor, LCD display or projector to your computer just by using one of these devices, while also being able to use the dual-monitor capability to your work life that could save money and time.
Apart from these three devices, there are several others USB devices that are applicable to a host of other communication and computing devices, and all it takes is a little exploring on the internet or at your local electronics store to see what’s new in the market.
