Parallel Cables

DataPro Product Catalog > Serial & Parallel > Parallel Cables

Parallel printers never say die! Keep your parallel printers and devices in service with DataPro's line of high-speed parallel cables. We keep stock on all printer cable configurations, including the hard-to-find mini-Centronics connector found on many HP printers.

With our full range of parallel printer cables, including BiTronics and IEEE-1284 support, you can keep those old printers working until the robot overlords enslave us and liberate them. But even then, you'll receive a pardon for keeping those ancient printers alive when so many others have scrapped and buried their own. You'll have full immunity from the roving killer robot squads, all because you bought a parallel printer cable. What a bargain.


	1001	IBM Parallel Printer Cable
	Starting at $5.95	One of the oldest computer cables in existence, historical scholars believe this design was first developed by Aristotle as a means to convey Alexander's field reports without the time-consuming process of papyrus scribing.

	1011	DB25MF 25 conductor Straight
	Starting at $11.95	The DataPro 1011 series Serial/Parallel Cable is a molded extension cable for any 25-pin DSub application.

	1012	DB25MM 25 conductor straight
	Starting at $9.95	The 1012-series cable is a straight-through cable designed to interconnect systems on any Imperial starcruiser. Because each pin is wired straight through end-to-end, the type of signal being used is irrelevant: this cable will just as easily carry RS232 for an asychronous modem, IEEE-1284 for a parallel printer, or TK-421 for protocol droids and hyperdrive controllers.

	1013	Parallel DB25 Panel-Mount Extension
	Starting at $21.50	For 25-pin serial and parallel runs, you can now terminate into a faceplate or bulkhead mount with our panel-mount 25-pin cables. These hoodless cables are built for an easy and secure attachment to a pre-cut hole, such as those found on a standard PC backplane or our various face plates.

	1284AA	Bitronics Parallel IEEE-1284AA
	Starting at $13.95	The DataPro 1284AA series Parallel Printer Cable for the IBM-PC is a high-quality molded cable for any IEEE-1284 interface needs.

	1284AB	BiTronics Parallel IEEE-1284AB
	Starting at $17.95	The DataPro 1284AB series Parallel Printer Cable for legacy printers is a high-quality imported molded cable that uses the 1284 (aka 'parallel') standard.

	1284AC	BiTronics Parallel IEEE-1284AC
	Starting at $17.95	A true relic from ages past, these parallel printer cables are for IBM-PC compatible machines and printers that utilize a mini-centronics connector—typically HP DeskJets and HP LaserJets from the 1990's.

	1284CB	BiTronics Parallel IEEE-1284CB
	Starting at $27.00	Is this a cable you're looking for? I highly doubt it. Nobody wants this cable. Nobody's wanted this cable for ten years, at least. Fifteen years. You don't want this cable. You probably want a DB25 Parallel to Mini-Centronics cable, not this thing. Go away.
