Parallel Cable ShiverPeaks BS78001-3 Grey 3 m

The ShiverPeaks BS78001-3 Grey 3 m parallel cable provides a 3-metre connection with a DB-25 connector on one end and a DB-36 connector on the other. Designed for wired data transfer between legacy and industrial devices, this cable is intended to maintain signal integrity across common parallel interfaces. The grey jacket and molded connector strain reliefs support everyday use in office, workshop, and equipment-rack environments.

Advantages

This parallel cable features robust connector housings and a flexible outer sheath that balance durability with ease of routing. The 3 m length offers extended reach without excessive slack, and the combination of DB-25 and DB-36 connectors ensures compatibility with a range of printers, control units and peripheral devices using parallel interfaces. The cable is constructed to reduce signal degradation and provide consistent transmission for data and control signals.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop printers and older parallel-interface peripherals
• Linking industrial control equipment with DB-25 or DB-36 ports
• Replacing existing parallel cabling in office or lab setups

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 metres
• Connector A: DB-25 (male or female as required by device)
• Connector B: DB-36 (male or female as required by device)
• Outer sheath colour: grey
• Designed for parallel (IEEE-style) data transmission

How to use

Align the DB-25 and DB-36 connectors with the corresponding device ports and secure them using the connector screws or fastening mechanisms provided on the devices. Ensure both devices are powered off when connecting or disconnecting the cable to prevent data errors or equipment damage. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, pinch points and sources of electrical interference, and secure it with cable ties or clips where appropriate.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, inspect connector pins for damage before use and avoid excessive twisting or stretching of the cable. Keep cable runs away from high-voltage lines and strong electromagnetic sources. For installations in permanent or high-movement environments, consider additional strain relief or protective conduit.
