Connect legacy USB-B peripherals to modern USB-C

This two-metre cable links USB 2.0 Type-B printers, scanners, hubs and external drives to laptops equipped with USB 3.1 Type-C sockets. The USB-C plug is reversible, so it inserts either way up. Data moves at USB 2.0 High-Speed rates of 480 Mbps and the cable supplies up to 500 mA for charging.

Limited to USB 2.0 bandwidth and power

Although the host connector is USB 3.1 Type-C, the cable operates at USB 2.0 specifications. Throughput tops out at 480 Mbps and charging current is capped at 500 mA, so it cannot drive power-hungry devices or deliver USB 3.x transfer speeds.

Replaces older USB-A-to-USB-B cables

The cable removes the need for an adapter when a computer lacks USB-A ports. It is not suited for users who require USB 3.x throughput, higher charging current, or connections to USB-C or Micro-B peripherals.
