6 ft IEEE 1284 parallel printer cable

This six-foot cable links a legacy parallel port on a PC or print server to a Centronics-style printer. It suits offices or hobbyists maintaining older laser, dot-matrix or label printers that still rely on the DB25 interface. The gold-plated contacts resist oxidation for reliable data transfer.

DB25 male to Centronics 36 male connectors

Moulded strain relief at both ends protects the solder joints during repeated insertion and removal. The shielded construction supports IEEE 1284 bi-directional modes including ECP and EPP, so status signals flow back to the host without extra wiring. Black PVC jacket resists kinking when routed behind desks or through cable trays.

Verify port types before ordering

Ensure the computer side presents a DB25 female parallel port and the printer side accepts a 36-pin Centronics male plug. Systems that only offer USB, Ethernet or Wi-Fi for printing cannot use this cable without an active adapter. Buyers needing longer runs or a different connector gender should select another model.
