USB to DB25 Parallel Cable

This Sabrent cable connects a USB Type A host to a DB25 parallel printer using an FTDI FT232RL conversion chip. The 1.8 metre length suits desktop or bench setups. Drivers install automatically on Windows 10 and later, with manual downloads available for other supported operating systems.

Suits legacy printer owners; not for USB-C hosts

Users with older parallel printers and a USB Type A port gain a reliable link across Windows, Linux, Mac OS and Android. Buyers whose computers only offer USB-C or who need a USB-to-DB9 serial adapter instead should look at a different cable.

FTDI FT232RL chip for driver support

The built-in FT232RL signal conversion chip enables automatic driver installation on modern Windows and broad OS compatibility. UL-compliant fire-resistant jacket and tin-plated copper conductors complete the specification that determines fit for purpose.
