Printer cable refers to the cable that carries data between a computer and a printer. There are many different types of cables, for example: Serial: RS-232, EIA-422; Parallel; FireWire; USB; Parallel port printers have been slowly phased out, and are now difficult to find for the most part, being considered as an obsolete legacy port on most ...
An IEEE 1284 36-pin male micro ribbon printer cable connection. The computer side normally uses a DB-25 port instead of this connector. IEEE 1284, also known as the Centronics port, is a standard that defines bi-directional parallel communications between computers and other devices.
Non-standard USB extension cable, plug on the left, receptacle on the right. (USB does not allow extension cables. [1] Non-standard cables may work but cannot be presumed reliable.) The connectors the USB committee specifies support a number of USB's underlying goals, and reflect lessons learned from the many connectors the computer industry ...
The USB 3.0 standard does not directly specify a maximum cable length, requiring only that all cables meet an electrical specification: for copper cabling with AWG 26 wires the maximum practical length is 3 meters (9 ft 10 in).
In addition to carrying analog RGB video, the connector supports analog stereo audio signals (input and output), Apple Desktop Bus (ADB), and S-video input. [4] Because the AudioVision 14 Display has front-mounted connectors for ADB and audio and video, a single consolidated cable and proprietary connector was used to simplify the connection to the computer and reduce cable clutter.
The written USB 3.0 specification was released by Intel and its partners in August 2008. The first USB 3.0 controller chips were sampled by NEC in May 2009, [4] and the first products using the USB 3.0 specification arrived in January 2010. [5] USB 3.0 connectors are generally backward compatible, but include new wiring and full-duplex operation.
The printer side of the interface quickly became an industry de facto standard, but manufacturers used various connectors on the system side, so a variety of cables were required. For example, NCR used the 36-pin micro ribbon connector on both ends of the connection, early VAX systems used a DC-37 connector, Texas Instruments used a 25-pin card ...
Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) is a proprietary [1] bit-serial peripheral bus connecting low-speed devices to computers. It was introduced on the Apple IIGS in 1986 as a way to support low-cost devices like keyboards and mice, enabling them to be connected together in a daisy chain without the need for hubs or other devices.
