<p>A dual-in-line Universal Serial Bus connector (345) including a plurality of Universal Serial Bus ports (400, 405) oriented adjacent to each other in a longitudinal direction. The dual-in-line Universal Serial Bus connector further includes a plurality of signal pins (435), coupled to the plurality of Universal Serial Bus ports (400, 405), which are configured to receive data input into at least one of the plurality of Universal Serial Bus ports (400, 405) and a pair of mounting tabs (430a, 430b). The positioning of the mounting tabs (430a, 430b) and signal pins (435) enable this connector to be used as a substitute for one of the serial COM port connectors (350) normally used by the computer system.</p> |
