EN-Labs USB-C to USB-B Printer Cable 3m Black

SKU CH-0TDZ-Z0JCA

Connects USB-C hosts to USB-B printers or scanners at up to 480 Mbps over three metres

  • Connect USB-C laptops to USB-B printers
  • 3 metre reach for flexible desk placement
  • Up to 480 Mbps data transfer speed
  • Compatible with MacBook Pro 2015, 2016, 2017 and Surface Book 2
  • Does not work with Android phones or tablets

Host connection

This cable connects a USB-C host computer to a USB 2.0 Type B peripheral such as a printer, scanner or MIDI controller. It is intended for users with laptops that only provide Type C ports who need to attach legacy USB-B equipment.

Data rate limit

The link operates at USB 2.0 High Speed with a maximum throughput of 480 Mbps. This bandwidth is adequate for document printing and scanner transfers but will not satisfy devices that require SuperSpeed or higher signalling rates.

Android exclusion

The cable does not function when the Type C end is plugged into an Android smartphone or tablet attempting to drive a printer directly. Windows tablets and traditional laptops with Type C ports are supported, so mobile-only workflows cannot use this adapter.

Highlights

  • Connect USB-C laptops to USB-B printers
  • 3 metre reach for flexible desk placement
  • Up to 480 Mbps data transfer speed
  • Compatible with MacBook Pro 2015, 2016, 2017 and Surface Book 2
  • Does not work with Android phones or tablets

Questions about this item

What does 480 Mbps mean when I connect my printer?

It is the USB 2.0 High Speed ceiling, so print jobs and scans move at up to 480 megabits per second — well above typical Wi-Fi throughput for the same task.

Which USB standard does the cable implement and what does that cap?

The cable is a USB 2.0 Type C male to USB 2.0 B male link, so the practical ceiling is 480 Mbps even though the host port may be USB 3.1.

What physical space do I need for the 3 metre run?

The cable is 3 metres (10 feet) long with a USB-C plug on one end and a standard USB-B plug on the other; allow enough slack for the connectors and the bend radius of a typical round cable.
