Connectivity for USB-C hosts

This cable links a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port on a laptop or desktop to devices that use a USB 3.1 Type-B connector, such as external hard drives, docking stations and scanners. It supports a maximum data rate of 10Gbps and is not compatible with USB 2.0 Type-B ports. The cable cannot transmit video signals.

Thermals noise and power in normal use

The fully shielded construction with gold-plated connectors is designed to reduce signal loss and maintain 100% contact efficiency during data transfers. No active cooling or external power is required, so the cable adds no audible noise or measurable heat to the setup. Power delivery follows the host port specification.

Replaces legacy USB-A to USB-B cables

The 2m length suits desk arrangements where the peripheral sits farther from the computer. The upgrade is worthwhile when a newer laptop or desktop provides only USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 ports and the user needs to keep using existing USB 3.1 Type-B equipment. It does not work with Android smartphones or tablets unless they run a Windows operating system.

Questions about this item

How do I plug this USB 3.1 C to USB B cable in without damaging the ports?

Insert the USB-C end into a Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C host port on your laptop, then connect the USB 3.1 Type-B end to the device; the distinct USB 3.1 B shape prevents accidental insertion into USB 2.0 Type-B ports.

Will the gold-plated connectors on this cable need cleaning or replacement over time?

The gold plating resists oxidation and maintains 100% contact efficiency, so no routine cleaning or connector replacement is required under normal use.

What is the maximum data rate this 2M cable can sustain during long transfers?

The cable supports up to 10Gbps, matching the USB 3.1 specification for the full 2M length.
