High-speed IEEE-1284 compliant cables from Cables To Go ensure you realize the added speed and two way communications offered by your newer IEEE-1284 compliant inkjet, laser, or all-in one printers and scanners. This advanced technology, which defines high-speed, bi-directional communications between PC and peripheral, requires both high quality connectors and a specialized wire-type to handle the increased data rates. Seventeen pair wire twisted with at least 36 turns per meter, molded connectors, foil shielding and 85% coverage braid soldered 360 to the connector shell- providing maximum resistance against harmful EMI/RFI and achieving the maximum performance for your peripheral.
