USB-C to USB 2.0 B Printer Cable

This one-metre cable connects a USB-C host such as a laptop or desktop to a standard USB 2.0 Type B peripheral. It supports data transfer up to 480 Mbps for printing, scanning or legacy device communication. The male Type C connector plugs into the host side while the male Type B connector fits printers, scanners, MIDI controllers or development boards. It is a straightforward replacement for older USB-A to USB-B leads when the host only offers USB-C ports.

Suits USB-C hosts needing legacy USB-B peripherals

Buyers with a USB-C equipped MacBook, Surface, Chromebook, Dell XPS or similar laptop can connect compatible printers, scanners, hubs or UPS units without an adapter. It does not work when the USB-C side is an Android smartphone or tablet attempting to drive a printer directly. Users who need to connect a USB-B host to a USB-C device, or who require longer reach than one metre, should look at a different cable configuration.

No bundled software or accessories included

The package contains only the cable itself, so no driver installation media or configuration utilities are supplied. Most modern operating systems recognise the connection automatically, letting the attached peripheral install its own drivers as usual. The absence of extra software means there is nothing to update or maintain beyond the cable's physical connection.

Questions about this item

What USB-C host port do I need on my laptop for this cable to work?

The cable requires a USB-C host port that implements the USB 3.1 or USB 2.0 host role; it is tested with MacBook Pro 2015, 2016, 2017, Dell XPS 13/15, Surface Book 2, Chromebook Pixel and similar Type-C laptops.

Will the cable still run at full speed if I plug it into an older USB 2.0 Type-B printer?

Yes, the link is specified for USB 2.0 High Speed up to 480 Mbps, so a legacy USB 2.0 Type-B printer or scanner will operate at its maximum rated throughput.

How can I confirm the 480 Mbps link is active after I connect the cable?

On Windows check Device Manager for a "High-Speed" USB device entry; on macOS open System Information → USB and verify the speed column reads "Up to 480 Mbps" for the attached printer or scanner.
