Product Description

From the Manufacturer

All major printer manufacturers are shipping products with the IEEE 1284 parallel printer ports. This exciting new standard was developed to support high-speed, bi-directional communication between computers and parallel printers. Cable assemblies complying with the new specifications must be manufactured with special low- capacitance, impedance-matched, twisted pair, double- shielded cable. The wiring of the cable assembly has also been modified and a new connector type, 36-position micro centronics, has been developed as part of the specification. Belkin Pro Series IEEE 1284 parallel printer cables have a proprietary look and an exclusive wiring design. This superior cable technology guarantees peak performance, optimal data transmission and a lifetime guarantee.

4.0 out of 5 stars good cable but not so good as USB, May 22, 2000

By	"teofilost" (atlanta,georgia) - See all my reviews

this a very good quality cable. It works good especially on the printers. Goes fast but if you have a USB port i will take the USB cable because is better product and more fast, it also cost less than this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Never had a problem...., January 13, 2002

By	Rheumor (New Orelans) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

I have lots of Belkin cables, and they have never failed me. The screw down mechanism is well designed, and does not allow the screw to back out (and thus become MIA). Also, because the screw downs are rubberized, they are easier to grip and tighten. I have bought one set of the expensive gold-plated contact cables, but the added cost added nothing to performance.
