TIA-574
In the land of technology, long ago,
A standard was born, you should know.
RS-232, its name so grand,
For serial communication, it took a stand.
With connectors and signals, it did define,
The way computers and modems would align.
DTE and DCE, they danced in sync,
Transmitting data, oh, what a link!
From computers to printers, it was the key,
To mice and storage, it connected with glee.
Uninterruptible power supplies, it did serve,
RS-232, a connection with nerve.
But as time went on, new interfaces arose,
RS-422, RS-485, and Ethernet, they chose.
Faster speeds and longer cables they brought,
RS-232's limitations, they sought.
Yet in CNC machines and scientific gear,
RS-232 still holds its place dear.
For short-range connections, it's still the best,
A reliable link, passing the test.
So remember RS-232, a tale of old,
A standard that stood strong, bold and bold.
Though USB has taken its place in most,
RS-232's legacy, we shall toast.
