Comments about Cables To Go DB25 Female Parallel Add-A-Port Adapter with Bracket:

My new motherboard lacks support for legacy parallel printer ports, but happens to have a 26-pin header, so this fits the bill to add a parallel port. The cable is about 11" long, which worked, but just barely.

Comments about Cables To Go DB25 Female Parallel Add-A-Port Adapter with Bracket:

I bought this so that I could dump/flash the NAND of my Xbox 360. My motherboard didn't have on-board LPT but it did have the header that this cable was made for and it works beautifully. It dumped the NAND at least 6 times in 8 hours - taking half as long as it would have on my friend's on-board LPT machine. Overall, this product has cut my production time in half and at a quarter of the cost of other suppliers! If you need one, get one here.

The motherboard we were using did not come with a parallel port. This product was a very easy fix with easy installation and it worked great.

Comments about Cables To Go DB25 Female Parallel Add-A-Port Adapter with Bracket:

I installed this in a homebuilt computer, which had a header for a parallel port. This worked perfectly to connect my Gigabyte motherboard to my HP last printer. This cable was an optional part for my motherboard, but not readily available. Be sure your motherboard has a parallel port header before purchasing.

Ordered late Christmas Eve and it shipped the next business day.

Comments about Cables To Go DB25 Female Parallel Add-A-Port Adapter with Bracket:

ASUS doesn't include the LPT cable with their M3A76-CM motherboard. They sell one, but they admit on their website that it might be too short for some of their motherboards. The CablesToGo cable is about 11 1/2 inches long, and it can easily connect between the "Berg" header connector on the front left corner of the motherboard and the rear slot opening on the back of the case. I tested the CablesToGo cable on my new PC with a Canon S450 printer (using a parallel port cable) and it worked great. The red stripe on the cable is Pin 1, so look in the motherboard manual to find pin 1 on the "Berg" header, and plug it in so they match up. It works. Buy it.

Service & Delivery comments:

Delivery was prompt. Product was brand new.
