Connect legacy parallel devices

This USB 2.0 to DB25 adapter cable connects modern USB-equipped desktops or notebooks to parallel printers, inkjets, lasers, POS machines, label printers, cash registers and scanners with a DB25 interface. It supports bi-directional data transfer up to 12Mbps and is fully compliant with USB 1.1, 2.0 and IEEE 1284 specifications. The 80cm cable requires no external power adapter and offers plug-and-play installation.

For maintaining older peripherals

This suits users who need to keep existing parallel-port equipment working on computers that lack a native parallel port. It is not for buyers who want more storage or faster throughput than 12Mbps, nor for anyone attempting to connect a Zip drive, which the supplier notes as incompatible. Builders requiring a second parallel connection should look at something else.

Ready to use immediately

The package includes one USB Type-A male to DB25 female parallel adapter cable. No driver disc or configuration software is bundled, so the plug-and-play behaviour relies entirely on the host operating system. Low power consumption means the cable draws what it needs directly from the USB port.
