## Summary description

HERTZ AK72 is a 1 m cable that converts USB-A to an IEEE 1284 (LPT) parallel interface for connecting legacy printers and parallel devices to modern USB ports. The black cable supports direct device connection where a parallel port is required, enabling data transfer and printing from computers without native LPT ports. Intended for legacy peripheral compatibility and basic print/data operations.

## Long description

HERTZ AK72 is a 1 m USB-A to IEEE 1284 (LPT) cable designed to connect legacy parallel printers and other parallel-interface devices to modern computers with USB ports. The cable provides a direct physical and logical conversion from USB to a standard parallel port, enabling basic print jobs and data transfer for devices that require an LPT connection. Its black jacket and 1-metre length suit desktop and office setups where short, reliable cabling is needed.
Advantages
The cable offers plug-and-play connection for many parallel peripherals when used with compatible drivers and host systems. Its compact 1 m length minimizes cable clutter while keeping the device within reach. The USB-A to IEEE 1284 interface preserves the standard parallel signal format needed by older printers and equipment, simplifying integration without requiring internal expansion cards. The black outer sheath provides a neutral appearance that fits typical workstation environments.
Suitable for
 Connecting legacy parallel printers to modern PCs and laptops with USB-A ports
 Interfacing industrial or laboratory devices that use IEEE 1284 parallel connections
 Temporary or permanent setups where a short, direct cable is preferred
Key specifications
 Connector A: USB-A (male)
 Connector B: IEEE 1284 (LPT) parallel connector (male)
 Length: 1 metre
 Color: Black
 Primary function: USB to parallel data/print interface conversion
How to use
Connect the USB-A end to an available USB port on the host computer and attach the IEEE 1284 connector to the parallel port of the peripheral device. Install any required drivers or software provided by the device manufacturer or operating system to enable communication over the virtual parallel interface. After drivers are installed, select the connected device in the operating system’s printer or device settings and perform a test print or data transfer to confirm correct operation.
Usage recommendations
Use this cable for basic printing and data tasks with legacy devices; verify driver compatibility for your operating system before purchase. Avoid routing the cable near high-interference sources and secure both ends to prevent accidental disconnection during operation.
