Customers are mixed about the fit of the electronic adapter. Some mention that it fits perfectly in case, has plenty of cable to connect, and plugs in snugly. However, others say that it's too short, the bar is only about 3 inches long, and the bracket size is not full length.

5.0 out of 5 stars It works perfectly

I swapped out the plate with a full height one and put this in my mother's tower so her new motherboard could interface with her old parallel port laser printer. The cable is just the right length and plugs in snugly. It works perfectly.

Worked. Had an old computer with an onboard LPT port. This allowed me to control the laser cutter via Mach3 on the parallel port.

Easy to install if you have LPT1 pins on your motherboard and an open slot. Beware that the bar is only about 3 inches long. If you have a micro atx case that may be fine, otherwise it's too short. Note: If you are looking at this for adding a zip drive to a windows 10 machine, Windows 10 does not support zip and it will not work. I've heard that XP does support zip, linux does also (at least Mint does).

5.0 out of 5 stars If you need 5v outputs then this may not be the best bet depending on your motherboard
Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2015

Using this for my CNC Lathe with Linux-CNC (EMC2) software. It fit the header on my motherboard and gave me the parallel port I needed.

Caution: it just breaks out whatever is available on the motherboard. In my case that was 3.3v, which worked for me with the controller board I'm using. If you need 5v outputs then this may not be the best bet depending on your motherboard.

4.0 out of 5 stars Did the job for an old case with an VFD that uses an LPT port
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2015
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
I recently re-built a friend's HTPC in a D-Vine Ahanix MCE302B case. This case has a VFD with an LPT connection that actually is meant to go out the back of the case to the rear I/O of the motherboard. The motherboard I used, the  GIGABYTE GA-F2A88XM-D3H , has an LPT header on-board but no LPT port in the back. This cable allowed me to connect the motherboard header to the back of the case so the VFD could be connected.

The only thing I don't like about this cable is that it doesn't come with a pinout diagram. However, if you look very closely, you will see a little arrow in the black plastic. This presumably points to pin 1. If you don't notice this, you might end up plugging this in backwards. A little bit of instruction for this would have been helpful.
