FEATURES
With the Parallel Printer Cable you can connect a standard IBM®
PC parallel port to most products with Centronics® interfaces.
However, it does not support Pin 14, autofeed, which some products’
components may require.
Parallel Printer Cable (18-Conductor)
These dot-matrix printer cables are our most popular printer
cables. Use them to connect the parallel port of a computer to any
standard dot-matrix printer. Choose from straight hoods or right-angle
connectors for tight spaces.
Laser Printer Cable (25-Conductor)
The Laser Printer Cable is used to connect the DB25 female
parallel port of an IBM or compatible PC to a Centronics parallel
interfaced printer.
Enhanced Parallel Port Cables
Enhanced Parallel Port Cables are built to the IEEE 1284
specification for bidirectional parallel ports.
IEEE 1284 specifies how to expand the functionality of a PC by
connecting a variety of high-performance peripherals to the parallel
port. Ordinary parallel port cables are not IEEE 1284 compliant, do
not support 1284 data rates, obstruct flawless connectivity, often
degrade data, and are limited to extremely short distances.
IEEE 1284 specifies three connector types and cable electrical
configurations. The connector types are DB25 male and female
(1284A), 36-position Centronics male (1284B), and a mini 36-position
Centronics male (1284C). The following combinations are available:
OVERVIEW
• 1284A(male)/1284A(male)
• 1284A(male)/1284A(female)
• 1284A(male)/1284B
• 1284A(male)/1284C
1284B/1284C
1284C/1284C
These cables are ideal for bidirectional parallel printing.
PC/XT Serial Printer Cable (28 AWG)
This cable connects a PC with a male DB25 serial port to a serial
printer or plotter. It has fully molded hoods with thumbscrews, and
a 28-AWG, foil-shielded construction.
AT Serial Printer Cables
The BC00801 and BC01900 connect a PC with an AT style DB9
serialporttoaserialprinter/plotterwithaDB25DTE-configuredport.
These cables features fully molded hoods with thumbscrews, and a
28-AWG, foil-shielded construction.
The EVMBPC connects the DB9 serial port on your AT computer
to the DB25 port on a serial printer. It features nonmolded assemblies
with removable hoods and crimped contacts for convenient repinning.
It features a 24-AWG, foil-shielded construction with a drain wire.
Flexi-Lite Cables
These super flexible, lightweight cables with slimline 90°
connectors are ideal for tight spaces where your PC is pushed up
against a wall. They’re compact and easy to carry, tooperfect
for notebooks!

According to a survey by Data Communi cations magazine, 90%
of network managers surveyed say that getting the technical support
they need is extremely important when choosing a vendor. But even
though network managers pay anywhere from 10 to 20% of their
overall purchase price for a basic service and support contract, the
technical support and service they receive falls far short of their
expectations—and certainly isn’t worth what they paid.
At Black Box, we guarantee the best value and the best support.
You can even consult our Technical Support Experts before you buy if
you need help selecting just the right component for your application.
