Legacy Parallel Connectivity

The Syba SI-PEX10010 adds a single DB25 parallel port to any desktop or server with a free PCI Express x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot. It targets users who must keep older printers, industrial controllers or legacy test equipment running on modern hardware. Both a standard-height and a low-profile bracket are included for flexible installation.

IEEE 1284 Multi-Mode Support

The WCH382L chipset implements SPP, PS/2, EPP and ECP modes for broad peripheral compatibility. Bidirectional data transfer reaches up to 1.5 Mbps, matching the throughput requirements of typical parallel printers and automation devices.

PCIe 1.0a x1 Power Management

The card conforms to the PCI Express 1.0a specification using a single lane and a 100-MHz differential reference clock. It supports D1, D2, D3hot and D3cold power states, so the adapter draws minimal power during long idle periods while remaining ready for continuous print queues or industrial polling cycles.

Questions about this item

What does the 1.5 Mbps parallel-port rating mean when the card is installed in a real machine?

The WCH382L chipset drives the DB25 port at up to 1.5 Mbps in ECP or EPP mode, so a legacy printer or industrial device can transfer data at the full IEEE1284 speed the peripheral supports.

What does the PCIe 1.0a x1 interface cap in practice?

The card uses a single PCI Express 1.0a lane, which provides more than enough bandwidth for the parallel port's 1 MB/s maximum transfer rate.

What does the card physically need to fit or mount in a case?

It fits any x1, x4, x8 or x16 PCI Express slot and includes both a standard-height and a low-profile bracket for full-size or slim chassis.
