USB-C to USB-B printer cable

This 10FT cable links a USB-C host such as a MacBook Pro 13, 15 or 16, Surface Book 2 or Chromebook Pixel to USB-B 2.0 peripherals including legacy printers, scanners, hubs, hard drives and Yamaha or Casio MIDI controllers. The aluminium alloy shell and gold-plated plugs provide full shielding against EMI and RFI noise. It is built for users who need a direct wired link between modern Type-C laptops and older USB-B equipment.

USB 2.0 speed ceiling

Data transfer is capped at 480 Mbps, which equals 60 MBps, because the cable implements the USB 2.0 specification on both ends. The connection is faster and more secure than a Wi-Fi link but cannot exceed this bandwidth. Buyers who need the higher throughput of USB 3.0 or later standards will find this cable insufficient for those workloads.

Host-side port check

Verify that your computer or tablet presents a USB-C port that acts as a host; the cable will not work when the USB-C side is connected to an Android smartphone or tablet. A Windows tablet with a host-capable Type-C port is compatible. Also confirm that the target device uses a standard USB 2.0 Type-B receptacle, as the cable’s B plug is sized for that interface only.

Questions about this item

What length should I pick for this USB C to USB B cable?

The cable is 10 ft (3 m) long, giving enough reach between a USB-C laptop and a USB-B printer, scanner, MIDI controller or external drive without excess slack.

What does the 480 Mbps rating mean when I actually use the cable?

It supports USB 2.0 data transfer up to 480 Mbps (60 MB/s), so file syncs and MIDI streams run at full USB 2.0 speed instead of being limited by Wi-Fi.

Which USB standard does the cable use and what does that limit in practice?

The cable follows USB 2.0, so the USB-C plug works only with host computers (MacBook, Surface, Chromebook, etc.) and will not connect an Android phone or tablet directly to a USB-B printer.
