D-Subminiature Printer Cables

Parallel Transmission vs Serial - Whereas serial transmission could be thought of as single stream of cars (data bits), traveling down a country backroad (single transmission path), parallel transmission can be thought of as a row of cars (usually 8 data bits or byte) travelling down a multi-lane highway. Obviously, the latter is a much quicker way of getting eight times the information from one point to another. Even though speed is increased, parallel transmission has some very big drawbacks.

Driving eight cars down the highway while maintaining a perfect row is no easy feat. Cars or bits tend to get desynchronized over distance. For this reason, most parallel connections are limited to about 10 feet. Today's PCs utilize DB25 female connectors for the parallel port, the main use of which is to interconnect with a printer. We offer a variety of parallel cabling for this purpose. Any of the fully populated DB25-DB25 cables will work when interconnecting to peripherals with DB25 ports. For older, dot matrix style printers utilizing Centronics connectors choose the CMX Series of cables. For newer style laser printers choose our IEEE-1284 cables.

IEEE-1284 Compliant Enhanced Parallel Cables

*High Speed Printing
IEEE-1284 Compliant Enhanced Parallel Cables - IEEE-1284 is the newest standard in high spped printing. The interface allows bi-directional communication resulting in speeds up to 10 times faster than conventional equipment. IEEE-1284 are available in standard lengths and connector configurations. All cables are double shielded with 28 AWG stranded twisted pair inner conductors. Cable jacket and molded shells are PVC plastic, light gray.
