Sir, *** tell me how can I make centronic cable whose both ends are 36 pin male centronic connector

[ITstudent2006]

You could always buy one! Not sure how you would make one!

You could always buy one! Not sure how you would make one!

My dear I tried to buy it even from delhi also,but it is not available in delhi because of its less use.now a days this type of cable is not used... if you know how to connect its both ends,then reply me.

[donf]

Okay,

The Centronics Interface was never a 36 pin to 36 pin cable.

The original pin was a 25 pin female to a 36 pin Centronics "D" shell.

With the advent of IEEE 1294, or Bi-Di as it was called, the was a bi-directional cable that was a mini-36 pin cable.

Is that what you are asking about?

[balu_ind]

Dear donf sir, you are wrong.you are requested to visit a site http://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat_id=913&sku=02682 in this site u are able to see the pic of centronic cable whose both ends are 36 pin.If u know how to connect these two pins.tell me

Dear donf sir, you are wrong.you are requested to visit a site 6ft Centronics 36 M/M Parallel Printer Cable - Cables To Go in this site u are able to see the pic of centronic cable whose both ends are 36 pin.If u know how to connect these two pins.tell me

Sorry Don is right, but that doesn't mean that a 36-36 pin cable does not exist. But there are plenty of places that will make a custom cable for you.

[donf]

Actually I did look at that cable and it for a Male to Male from a "Centronics Switch Box", not from a PC to Printer.

If you have such a box, you need to tell us!

So, please describe what you are trying to connect together.

[balu_ind]

donf sir, I'm trying these two ends of centronic connector which are 36 pins and both are male.

[balu_ind]

Please donf sir, tell me how these two connectors are connected... should I connect 1to 1pin and so on up to 36 pin to 36.

[ScottGem]

As Don said we need to know the usage of the cable. It may be you need a straight through (1-1) or you may need to reverse (1-36).

[donf]

A normal Centronics cable is a 25 pin female to 36 pin male.

A bi-directional (IEEE 1294) cable can be a 36 to 36, but the cable ends are much smaller.

If I were you, I would get an 18 pair of 22 AWG copper cable and do a 1 to 1 configuration.

Centronics depends on a signal leg to the device and a return leg back.

Good luck!

[balu_ind]

donf sir,why you don't get me... I have two 36 pin male centronic connector same as I have send you web address.I want to connect these two connectors... but how?

[balu_ind]

donf sir.*** see the site http://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat_id=913&sku=02682
I have same connector,but I don't know how to connect.Sir I have electronic wheel aligner machines who have 36 oin.I want to connect it through printer which also have 36 pin.ok.I think know u get me.

[donf]

No, I don't think I get you. If you have the same cable as is pictured in that web page, then you need a switch box to use that cable.

Just because a printer uses a 36 pin Centronics ended cable, does not mean that your aligners will use the same cable pattern.

What machines are you trying to connect, can you send me a description of the devices as well as the printer? What connection ports on the wheel aligners are you trying to connect to? Does the wheel aligner support the Centronics interface?

[balu_ind]

donf sir, I have wheel aligner hofmann 321 model which is 1997 model.for imafe go to http://www.warsztat.pl/pl/ogloszenie/96/przyrzad-komputerowy-do-geometrii-hoffman-4-glowicoey.html
This aligner has 36 pin port,it is not changeable.when I purchase this machine I have cable 36 pin to 36 pin centronic.but now it is damaged and misplaced.so I want a new one but in india it is not available in market due to its less use.

[donf]

So write the manufacturer and ask them to send you new cables.

Or special order the cable from cables to go.

[balu_ind]

Dear donf,sirst I will tell you that 36 pin to 36 pin is a single cable,no centronic box is required.I have these two both connector but I don't know how to connect them.2-3 websites I see that they sell these type oc cable, I contact them but they want money through credit card which I don't have.I just want connection diagram only.but you also don't know.thanks... but you can't help me.

[donf]

Excuse me, but I do know how.

If I wanted to, I could go down to the electrical supply store and pick up the parts I need and then build the cable.

I have absolutely no need of a 36 pin female to male centronics terminated cable.

You are the one who does not seem to understand. No company is going to send you a pin-out of their cable. Especially if the cable is patented here in the U.S.A. They will charge you it how they make money.

However, I gave you the best answer I can. I have no idea of the electrical connections used by your aligners.

I have told you repeatedly that a normal Centronics connector (male / "D" shell) connector is a pin to pin connection for a printer.

Why in heavens name you do not take the time to look at the 25 pin female port on a "PC" to verify the sending port is beyond me.

If you are asking foe someone to take the time to design a cable for you, it's just not going to happen, because there are patent regulations that can be enforced if you breach someone's design patent.

Also, it is a design issue. If you want to hire me, fine but this is information that is plainly available to you.

For goodness sakes, get a Ohm meter and do a continuity test to get your own mapping!

Sir pl visit the site http://iec-usa.com/m2200.html
*** listen me carefully: my aligner have 36 pin port,my printer epson lx 300 have also 36 pin.I need a cable which connect aligner and printer,the cable I need is 36 pin centronic connector both so that aligner and printer will connect.as I said earlier I have this type of cable but I lost it.so I want this type of cable.I searched a lot, in forign like usa I find a cable.but due to credit card procedure I'm not able to purchase.thats why I I know the procedure I will connect these two connectors in india also.

[balu_ind]

*** suggest me can I join other printer to aligner.but aligner have 36 pin port use only 36 pin centronic m cable.can I print it with using 25 pin to 36 pin cable.
