USB-C to USB-B 2.0 Printer Cable

This 2 metre cable connects a USB-C host device to a standard USB 2.0 Type-B peripheral such as a printer, scanner or MIDI controller. It supports high-speed data transfer up to 480 Mbps. The Type-C plug fits laptops including MacBook Pro models from 2015 to 2017, Dell XPS 13 and 15, Surface Book 2 and Chromebook Pixel. The Type-B plug fits legacy devices from brands such as HP, Canon, Brother and Epson.

Who this suits and who it does not

It suits users who need a direct wired link between a USB-C computer and a USB-B office device without relying on wireless networks. It will not work for connecting an Android USB-C smartphone or tablet directly to a printer. Buyers who need to link two USB-C ports or require USB 3.1 Gen 2 bandwidth should look at a different cable.

Deciding specification — USB 2.0 480 Mbps limit

The cable operates at USB 2.0 speeds with a maximum data rate of 480 Mbps. This determines whether it can handle the throughput required by the attached peripheral. If the device demands SuperSpeed USB 3.0 or higher bandwidth, this cable will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

What size USB-C port does my laptop need for this 2 m cable?

The USB-C male connector fits any standard USB 3.1 Type C host port found on MacBook Pro 2015, 2016, 2017, Dell XPS 13/15, Surface Book 2, Chromebook Pixel and similar laptops.

Which end plugs in first when I connect a printer?

Insert the USB-C male end into the host computer, then plug the USB 2.0 Type B male end into the printer; reversing the order will not work because the Type C side is host-only.

Will the USB 2.0 Type B connector wear out with daily plugging?

The USB 2.0 Type B male connector is rated for typical office use; if the port loosens over time, replacing the cable restores reliable 480 Mbps data transfer.
