Before the advent of printers with USB connections, the dominant standard was IEEE 1284, aka the "parallel printer interface". This parallel printer cable features a DB25 male connector on each end. Each pin provides a straight through connection to the same pin number on the other end. The connector heads are molded onto the cable and each end has thumbscrews for securing the connectors to the DB25 ports. Similar to: Cables Unlimited PCM-1140-25 (PCM114025)
