Tripp Lite's 6-ft. IEEE 1284 A-B Gold Parallel Printer Cable connects computers with a DB25 female parallel port to parallel printers with a centronics 36 female parallel port. It supports high-speed, IEEE 1284 bi-directional communication. The cable features gold plated, DB25 male/Cent36 male connectors and gold plated copper contacts for superior conductivity. It is manufactured from superior molded cable with integral strain relief and double shielding for maximum EMI/RFI protection. It contains low-capacitance, impedance matched, twisted-pair conductors that protect against cross-talk and other transmission problems.
