Parallel switchbox cable. Two A-to-A parallel connectors (25-pin male D-Sub). Connects PCs to manual or automatic switchboxes. Transfers data 10 times faster than non-IEEE-1284-compliant cables. 6 feet long.
They work well, allow the printer to work bidirectional even with a junction box (this is unusual ), so I say it is an excellent product and worth the money. In fact, I've never had a problem with Belkin products.
Pros
Two parallel A to A connectors (25 pin D-Sub connector)
