10 ft IEEE 1284 parallel cable

The Tripp Lite P606-010 is a 10 ft printer cable with a DB25 male connector on one end and a 36-pin Centronics male connector on the other. It targets users connecting legacy parallel printers or industrial equipment to a DB25 port. The cable supports IEEE 1284 bi-directional communication including standard, compatible, nibble, byte, ECP and EPP modes. Gold plated connectors and copper contacts provide reliable conductivity for data transfer.

Capacity and headroom

The 10 ft length suits typical desktop or bench distances between a host port and a parallel device. Gold plated contacts maintain signal integrity across the full run for the supported IEEE 1284 modes. It handles bi-directional printer communication and peripheral control within the electrical limits of the parallel interface. The cable does not extend beyond 10 ft, so longer runs require a different solution.

Build fit

The DB25 male end mates with a standard DB25 female port on a PC, print server or legacy controller. The Centronics 36 male end plugs into the parallel input on a printer, plotter or industrial device. Two moulded connectors and a black jacket keep the link secure without extra adapters. It frees up USB ports by using the native parallel interface on compatible hardware.

Questions about this item

Will the 10 ft IEEE 1284 cable reach a legacy printer if my PC still has a DB25 port?

The 10 ft length gives ample reach between a DB25 port on the computer and a Centronics 36 port on the printer.

How can I confirm the P606-010 is passing data correctly after I connect it?

The cable supports IEEE 1284 modes including ECP and EPP; a successful test print or bidirectional status readout shows it is working.

What connectors are on the P606-010 and do I need any other parts?

The cable has a DB25 male connector on one end and a Centronics 36 male connector on the other; no extra parts are included.
