Applications

The 25-pin parallel interface was the standard external connection for Iomega Zip drives throughout the 1990s and into the early 2000s, allowing them to connect to the parallel printer port found on virtually every PC of that era. A parallel Zip drive sits between the PC's parallel port and a printer in a pass-through configuration, so a male-to-female extension cable like this one is useful for reaching a drive placed away from the system. Beyond Zip drives, DB25 parallel cables of this type were also used with early parallel-port scanners, external CD-ROM drives, and parallel-to-SCSI adapters. Today these cables are sought by those maintaining legacy Zip drive setups for data recovery or archival work, as well as collectors of 1990s computing hardware.
