Applications
This cable was designed for use with Apple Macintosh computers from the late 1980s through the mid-1990s that used the Mac serial (Mini-DIN 8) printer port as their standard printer interface. During this era, many printers used the Centronics 36-pin parallel interface, and adapter cables like the 901-0025 allowed those printers to connect to the Mac's serial printer port. Typical compatible systems include the Macintosh SE, Mac II series, Quadra, Centris, and early Power Macintosh models that retained the serial printer port before Apple moved to USB with the iMac in 1998. These cables remain useful today for anyone maintaining or operating vintage Macintosh systems with period-correct parallel printers.
This Infowave 901-0025 Parallel to Mac Serial Printer Cable is in good used condition. The cable and connectors show normal handling wear consistent with prior use, with no visible damage to the Centronics or Mini-DIN 8-pin ends. The inline converter module is intact with its label clearly readable. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
