15 Foot IEEE 1284 Bidirectional Printer Cable DB25 Male to Centronics 36 Malestar rating 5R. MaxfieldApril 26, 2011Cable is performing well and is as advertised. The connectors are not gold/ gold plated as some I have had, but doesn't seem to affect the performance to my laser printer. The additional length makes working on my tower much easier. Cable shipped quickly and overall was very reasonably priced.
