In long distance communication to much cable is not proper and also will cost to much. Then serial cable will get help. For example: USB, CAN, SCI, IIC, SPI and etc are serial interface in industry. In serial communication the cable send or receive byte or bit by time slot, and parallel communication such as EPT, IDE using in printer or hardisk will send data in multi wires for one time slot.

serial cable sends its data one at a time in its data port until all its bits finished, while on parallel it sends its data into burst all its bits at once.
