The USB to Parallel Printer Cable is designed to bridge the gap between older parallel port printers and modern computers equipped with USB ports. This versatile cable features a USB Type-A Male connector on one end and a Centronics 36-pin Male connector on the other, allowing for seamless connection between your printer and computer.

With a typical length of 1.8 meters (6 feet), the cable provides ample reach for convenient placement of both your printer and computer. It supports data transfer rates of up to 12 Mbps (USB 1.1) or 480 Mbps (USB 2.0), depending on the USB version used, ensuring efficient data transmission.

The cable is compatible with standard Centronics 36-pin parallel port printers and connects to USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports on your computer. It features shielding to minimize data interference and is powered through the USB connection, eliminating the need for an external power source.

To ensure easy installation, the cable supports Plug and Play functionality and typically includes a USB-to-parallel converter chip that handles the data conversion process. Driver support is provided, with drivers available on a CD included with the cable or downloadable from the manufacturer’s website.

Compatible with a range of operating systems, including Windows (7, 8, 10, and 11), macOS, and some Linux distributions, this cable offers a reliable solution for connecting legacy printers to modern computing environments. Whether for home or office use, it combines practicality and functionality to extend the life of your parallel port printer.
