A dual-in-line Universal Serial Bus connector including a plurality of Universal Serial Bus ports oriented adjacent to each other in a longitudinal direction. The dual-in-line Universal Serial Bus connector further includes a plurality of signal pins and a pair of mounting tabs. The signal pins are coupled to the plurality of Universal Serial Bus ports in order to receive data input into at least one of the plurality of Universal Serial Bus ports. The positioning of the mounting tabs and signal pins enable this connector to be used as a substitute for a serial communication (COM) port connector.
