Dual use for RS-232C or for parallel printers. Decent offshore manufacture
and quality. Compucable builds a better quality cable for a couple dollars
more because they use a higher gauge wire and thicker molding. I connected
this cable to a manual DB25 switchbox for printer sharing with another PC
I didn’t want to network the printer to. This gives me the best of both
worlds, between networked printer sharing and direct connection of 2 PC’s.
