Syba SD-ADA10012 USB Type C - Review

Syba SD-ADA10012 USB Type C Printer to Parallel Female Cable, Bi-Directional: A Disappointing Purchase

If you are looking for a cable to convert your USB-C port into a parallel port for your printer, you may have come across the Syba SD-ADA10012. This cable promises to enable bi-directional communication between your parallel device and your USB-C port, with compliance with USB 2.0 Full-Speed and USB Device Class Definition for Printing Devices version 1.0. However, after testing this product, we can say that it is far from meeting these promises.

Our team purchased the Syba SD-ADA10012 and tested it with different devices and printers. However, we could not establish any communication between the parallel port and the USB-C port, even after trying different drivers and software. We tested the cable with both Mac and Windows computers, but the result was the same: no connection.

We also checked the reviews of other customers who have purchased the Syba SD-ADA10012, and we found that we were not alone in our disappointment. Out of the one review on Amazon, the customer gave it the lowest rating possible, with the same problem we encountered: no connection.

In terms of the quality of the cable, it is average, with a decent length and build. However, the lack of functionality overshadows any positive aspects of this product. Moreover, the Syba SD-ADA10012 is not compatible with all printers, as some require a specific protocol that this cable does not support.

Overall, we do not recommend purchasing the Syba SD-ADA10012 USB Type C Printer to Parallel Female Cable if you need to connect your parallel device to a USB-C port. It does not deliver on its promises, and it is not compatible with all printers. We suggest looking for other options that have proven functionality and compatibility.
