IEEE 1284: Also known as a "parallel printer cable" or "centronics" cable. It was developed to support higher transmission speeds between computers and parallel printers.

IEEE 1284 EPP: specification cables giving 1.5Mb bi-directional data transfer at a rate of up to 50 times faster than on normal parallel ports when port is set to EPP mode.

Impedance: The opposition to the flow of alternating or varying current. Measured in Ohms.

Injection Moulding: The process used to inject molten polymer into a mould. Connector backshells are often injection moulded.

Insertion Loss: See Attenuation

Insulation: A material with very high resistivity used to protect conductors. Insulation is usually extruded over the wire or conductor after the drawing process.
