From the ManufacturerGold is one of the most sought after metals in the world. So we have added this precious metal to our top of the line GOLD series IEEE 1284 printer cable, making it the fastest parallel data transfer available.The Gold Series Parallel Printer Cable attaches your IEEE 1284 printer with a Centronics 36-port to your PC with a DB25 port. Featuring 24K gold plated corrosion-proof connectors for maximum conductivity.Advantages24K gold plated corrosion-proof connectors for maximum conductivity. Fastest data transfer for maximum performance (up to 10 times faster than non-compliant IEEE 1284 cables). Tactilite molded strain relief provides a 360-degree turning radius for true protection against damage to the conductors. Quality assured with the Belkin lifetime warranty. Tactilite overmold is a supple polymer designed to increase flexibility while maintaining durability. Flextec cable jacket is very durable and extremely flexible for use in tight areas. 24K gold plated copper connectors provide maximum conductivity with no data loss. Oversized ergonomic thumbscrews make installation a breeze. Double shielded braid and foil to meet IEEE 1284 specifications, and ensure compliance with FCC requirements, reducing EMI/RFI. 18 tightly woven conductor pairs have each data line paired with a ground line to minimize cross talk, noise and other interference, ensuring error-free printing. Ground indents provide excellent conductivity and retention with mating conductors. PVC premold encapsulates individual conductors to ensure electrical isolation and relieve stress. Aluminum undermold shield helps to meet FCC requirements on EMI/RFI interference. 28 AWG stranded tinned copper conductors are individually insulated in polypropylene to minimize cross talk, ensuring high-speed, error-free transmission.
