Host-to-device connectivity
This cable links a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 host computer to peripherals that use a USB 3.1 Type-B port. Supported hosts include recent MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, Surface, XPS and ZenBook models. Compatible devices include ScanSnap iX500 scanners, S2340T monitors, USB 3.0 docking stations, external hard drives and Blu-ray drives. The cable does not work with USB 2.0 Type-B ports or Android smartphones and tablets unless they run Windows.
Sustained transfer behaviour
Rated at 5 Gbps under the USB 3.1 Gen 2 specification, the link maintains that throughput during extended file moves to external storage or docking stations. Gold-plated connectors and full shielding preserve signal integrity over the 10 ft length, reducing errors that would otherwise force retransmissions. Driver installation on the host is required before the first use with scanners, docks or MIDI gear.
Thermals noise and power
Passive copper construction generates no audible noise and adds negligible heat to the host or peripheral. The cable draws bus power only, with no external adapter needed. At 3.53 oz it remains lightweight for a 10 ft run, and the 9.13 x 5.91 x 1.14 in package fits easily in a laptop bag. Video transmission is not supported.

Questions about this item
Does the 10 ft length cause signal loss or heat during all-day transfers?
The cable is fully shielded with gold-plated connectors for 100% contact efficiency, maintaining 5Gbps speed over the 10 ft run without signal loss or heat buildup.
What host port must my computer have to use this cable?
Your computer needs a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3/4 port; the cable does not work with Android USB-C phones or tablets unless they run Windows.
Will it connect my older USB 2.0 Type-B printer or scanner?
No, the USB 3.1 Type-B connector shape is completely different from USB 2.0 Type-B, so this cable cannot plug into those older devices.
