InLine 33397I USB printer cable, 1.8m, Type-A plug to DB25 female

The InLine USB Printer Cable 33397I is a 1.8 m adapter designed to connect a computer's USB Type A port to a parallel DB25 female printer port. It enables the use of IEEE1284 parallel printers with modern USB-only systems. The cable has a blue and transparent design and uses the PROLIFIC PL2305 chipset. Extended printer utilities are not supported.

Advantages

This adapter cable allows legacy parallel printers to be connected to contemporary computers via USB without changing the printer. The 1.8 m length provides convenient placement and flexibility. The integrated PROLIFIC PL2305 chipset ensures basic compatibility with IEEE1284 printers for standard printing tasks.

Suitable for

• Connecting older parallel (DB25) printers to computers with USB Type A ports
• Home or office environments where a legacy printer must remain in use
• Situations requiring a 1.8 m cable length for flexible placement
