OVERVIEW

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:

•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, too— perfect for notebooks!

Why Buy From Black Box? Exceptional Value. Exceptional Tech Support. Period.

Recognize any of these situations?

•You wait more than 30 minutes to get through to a vendor’s tech support.

•The so-called “tech” can’t help you or gives you the wrong answer.

•You don’t have a purchase order number and the tech refuses to help you.

•It’s 9 p. m. and you need help, but your vendor’s tech support line is closed.

According to a survey by Data Communications 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.

Don’t waste time and money—call Black Box today.
