The C2G 16898 is a 6-foot USB to Parallel adapter cable. This device bridges the gap between modern USB-equipped computers and older parallel printers or other Centronics 36-pin devices. It allows you to integrate legacy peripherals into a contemporary IT infrastructure without requiring a dedicated parallel port on the host system, which is increasingly rare. This is particularly useful in environments that rely on specialized industrial printers or plotters that have not yet been upgraded.
This adapter is designed to work with any computer featuring a standard USB-A port and any peripheral device equipped with a Centronics 36-pin male connector. It is commonly used for connecting older model printers, plotters, and label makers to PCs running Windows operating systems. It functions as a direct hardware interface, translating USB signals to parallel signals.
Installation is plug-and-play on most modern operating systems, including Windows 7, 8, and 10. Drivers are typically handled automatically by the OS. Ensure the parallel device is powered on and the Centronics 36 connector is securely seated on the peripheral before connecting the USB end to the computer. The 6-foot cable length provides moderate reach between the host computer and the peripheral.
