USB to IEEE1284 Parallel Printer Centronics C36 Converter Adapter Cable
USB to IEEE1284 Parallel Centronics C36 Converter Adapter Cable.
A CN26M connector, or more specifically a 26-pin male Centronics connector, is a type of electrical connector commonly used in older computer and peripheral devices. Centronics connectors were widely used for parallel data transfer, most notably for connecting printers to computers in the 1970s and 1980s.
The CN26M connector has two rows of 13 pins, and it is male, meaning the pins protrude from the connector. These connectors were typically used on the printer side of the cable, while the computer side often had a 25-pin D-sub female connector (also known as DB25 or IEEE 1284 Type A connector).
Over time, the CN26M and other Centronics connectors have become largely obsolete, replaced by more compact and faster connection standards like USB and Ethernet. However, you might still encounter these connectors when working with vintage computer equipment or peripherals.
