Parallel cable Synergy S215246 Black 3 m

The Synergy S215246 Black 3 m parallel cable provides a 3-metre connection with DSub15 connectors on both ends for reliable parallel data transfer between compatible devices. Designed for use where a stable, shielded connection is required, this cable connects printers, scanners and legacy peripherals that use a 15-pin D-sub parallel interface. Its black jacket and robust construction support everyday use in home and office environments while preserving signal integrity across the full cable length.

Advantages

This parallel cable combines standard DSub15 connectivity with a durable outer jacket and strain relief at each connector, reducing wear and maintaining consistent electrical contact. The cable’s construction helps minimise interference, ensuring dependable transmission of parallel data. The 3 m length gives flexibility in device placement without compromising signal quality, and the symmetrical DSub15 connectors make installation straightforward on both host and peripheral devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting parallel-port printers to computers or print servers
• Linking scanners and other legacy peripherals that use a 15-pin D-sub interface
• Temporary or permanent connections in office and small-business environments
• Use in setups where a robust, shielded parallel connection is required

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 m
• Connectors: DSub15 male to DSub15 male
• Colour: Black
• Application: Parallel data transmission for printers, scanners and legacy peripherals
• Construction: Shielded cable with reinforced connector strain relief

How to use

Connect one DSub15 connector to the parallel port on the host device and the other to the parallel port on the peripheral. Ensure connectors are aligned with the port before seating to avoid bent pins, and secure any thumbscrews to maintain a stable mechanical and electrical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For best results, verify device settings and drivers on both ends and perform a test print or data transfer to confirm correct operation.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable within its specified 3 m length to preserve signal integrity. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines and keep it away from large motors or radio transmitters. Inspect connector pins periodically for straightness and cleanliness and tighten thumbscrews to prevent intermittent contacts.
