Manhattan 302241 Printer Cable content_copy

This parallel cable from Manhattan, type 302241, connects a DB25 plug to a CEN36 plug and is specifically designed for use in systems with parallel data transfer standards. The cable has a length of 7.5 meters and is white, allowing it to blend discreetly into many technical environments. The plug connection is male-to-male, enabling a direct connection between two devices, each having a corresponding socket connection.

Applications
This cable is intended for applications in parallel data transfer, for example, connecting computers to printers or other peripheral devices equipped with a Centronics connection (CEN36) or a DB25 connection. It is particularly suitable for environments where a stable, interference-free connection over a longer distance is required, such as in office or industrial facilities where devices are not placed directly next to each other.

Functions and Features in Detail
The cable features 25 conductors necessary for parallel data transfer. The conductors are shielded, reducing electromagnetic interference and improving signal integrity. The plugs are potting-sealed, providing mechanical stability and a secure fit in the socket connectors. The potting also protects the contact points from contamination and mechanical stress.

Technology Explained Simply
The shielding of the cable protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI), which can occur during data transmission, especially in environments with other electrical devices. The 25 conductors correspond to the standard for parallel interfaces, with each wire carrying one bit of data. The DB25 and CEN36 plug types are historically common connectors, widely used in older printer systems and industrial equipment. The potting-sealed plugs ensure a durable and robust connection, even with frequent plugging and unplugging.

Compatibility and Accessories
The cable is compatible with devices featuring a DB25 male plug and a CEN36 male plug. It can, for example, be used to connect a computer to a printer equipped with a Centronics interface. Use requires that both devices have socket connectors compatible with the cable's plugs.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by simply inserting the plugs into the corresponding sockets on the devices. Due to the potting-sealed plugs, mechanical stress during operation is minimal, and the cable can be used without additional fastening components. The cable length of 7.5 meters allows flexible device placement within a room or across multiple rooms, provided the cabling is not obstructed by physical barriers.

Operational Advantages
The shielded design ensures reliable data transmission, even in environments with electromagnetic interference. The potting-sealed plugs increase the cable's lifespan and reduce the risk of contact issues. The 7.5-meter length offers flexibility in device placement without requiring additional extensions or adapters. The white color makes the cable inconspicuous in many technical installations.

Note: Batteries are not included in the delivery scope.
