The DataPro 1284AB series Parallel
Printer Cable for legacy printers is a
high-quality imported molded cable that
uses the 1284 (aka 'parallel') standard.
The computer side has a DB25M connector;
the printer side has a Centronics
(Amphenol) type 36 pin male connector
with wire bale clips. The DB25 end
has slotted thumbscrews.
This cable should be used wherever
IEEE-1284 high-speed BiDirectional
parallel data transfer is specified.
This type of transfer was the standard
printer connection in non-Macintosh computers
through the early 2000's, when USB overtook
the serial and parallel interfaces.
We can also build this cable in any length you need.
