Parallel printer cable for legacy peripherals

This 25 ft IEEE-1284 cable connects a DB25 male port to a 36-pin Centronics male connector. It is built for bi-directional data transfer with inkjet, laser and all-in-one printers or scanners that use the parallel interface. The grey jacket and fully moulded ends are rated for industrial environments. ||

Check for DB25 and Centronics ports

Verify that the host computer or print server provides a DB25 female parallel port and that the peripheral presents a 36-pin Centronics female socket. Ensure the 25 ft length fits the cable run without excessive slack or tension. Confirm the device supports IEEE-1284 bi-directional mode for full functionality. ||

Replaces standard parallel cables

This cable upgrades from basic unidirectional parallel leads by adding IEEE-1284 compliance for faster, bi-directional communication. The jump is worthwhile when a legacy printer or scanner requires the enhanced signalling and the 25 ft reach matches the installation distance. Buyers needing USB, network or longer runs will need a different solution.

Questions about this item

What connectors come on the 25 ft cable and do I need any extra adapters?

The cable has a DB25 male connector on one end and a 36-pin Centronics male connector on the other; no extra adapters are required for IEEE-1284 printers or scanners with matching ports.

How do I decide whether the 25 ft length is right for my setup?

Measure the distance between the computer parallel port and the printer Centronics port; the 25 ft length suits runs up to that distance without extension.

What does the IEEE-1284 rating mean for actual print jobs?

IEEE-1284 bi-directional signalling lets the cable handle faster data bursts and status feedback from compliant inkjet, laser or all-in-one printers.
