Longer Cable

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know where I can find a 12' parallel port cable for my copam?  None of the electronic stores carry a double male end cable.

There is a limit as to how long, before you start losing data, you can run a parallel cable under windows.  I can't remember right off how long though. Maybe that is why you can't find one.

Does the serial to usb work good for you?  I have heard some complaints on here about a usb.  I just cant find a male/male serial cable.  I found a 10' on ebay for about 10 Bucks.

Believe it or not, I set my notebook running vista on a usb last summer and haven't had a single problem.  I know I am one of the lucky ones.  It took a little while to get it figured out but it works fine.  I would give it a try.

Try Tigerdirect.com or CDW.com they both have cables, and priced right.
