can you tell me about this cable ....

hi dears
look at this attachment you see a usb to parallel converter cable .



can you tell about how it work?
because usb is serial and centronic is parallel ....

Take a look at the FT245 datasheet.
FT245R

no this is chip that convert synchronous data to parallel but this is only cable that connect 4 wires(usb) to 36 pin(centronic)

It's the same idea. It's a USB to parallel adapter. There are ICs like the FT245 or a microcontroller inside. It's an emulation of a parallel port and requires an OS specific driver.
