16-inch slot-plate cable converting a compatible motherboard IDC26 parallel header to a rear-panel female DB25 port.
Frequently asked questions
What does PLATE25F16 do?
Adds one female DB25 parallel port to a standard expansion slot by connecting to a compatible IDC26 motherboard header.
Who is this product best for?
PC builds and repair jobs that need access to a motherboard parallel header for a legacy printer or parallel peripheral.
What should I check before ordering?
Confirm the motherboard has a compatible IDC26 parallel header and verify its pinout before connection; this is not a PCIe controller.
Does it require drivers or software?
No driver is required for the cable itself; the motherboard parallel controller and operating system must support the attached device.
What is included in the package?
One 16-inch DB25 female to IDC26 motherboard-header slot plate.
What is the key installation requirement?
Connect the IDC26 plug only to a verified compatible parallel header, then secure the DB25 bracket in a standard expansion-slot opening.
Is it suitable for an Australian setup?
Yes. DeviceDeal supplies the Australian-market version; always confirm the available ports, power and system compatibility for your installation.
What warranty applies?
PLATE25F16 carries a StarTech.com limited lifetime manufacturer warranty, subject to the manufacturers terms and eligibility requirements.
