USB 3.0 Type-C to Type-B cable

This 1.5 ft cable links a USB 3.0 Type-C host to a USB 3.0 Type-B peripheral such as an external hard drive or docking station. It is built for users who need a short, flexible connection between modern laptops and SuperSpeed devices. The 32awg conductors and TPE jacket keep the cable pliable for tight routing.

Sustained transfer stability

The thinner 32awg conductors and supple TPE jacket reduce strain on ports during long copy sessions, helping maintain a reliable SuperSpeed link without the stiffness that can loosen connections over time. The 5 additional pins in the USB 3.0 Type-B plug carry the SuperSpeed data lanes continuously. This construction supports steady throughput for extended backups or large file moves.

Connector pairing decides fit

The cable only works when one side requires a USB 3.0 Type-C plug and the other a USB 3.0 Type-B receptacle; it will not fit USB 2.0 Type-B ports or USB-C devices that lack SuperSpeed pins. Buyers needing a Type-A to Type-B link or a longer reach must choose a different cable.

Questions about this item

Does the 32awg cable run hot when an external SSD is transferring large files all day?

The 32awg conductors and TPE jacket stay flexible and do not generate noticeable heat during sustained SuperSpeed transfers.

My laptop only has a USB 3.0 Type-C port — will this cable connect my USB 3.0 Type-B hard drive without an adapter?

Yes, the USB 3.0 Type-C plug goes into your laptop and the USB 3.0 Type-B plug goes straight into the drive — no extra adapter required.

Will the 1.5 ft length reach from a rear-port docking station to a printer on the desk without strain?

At 1.5 ft the cable is short; it works when the docking station sits right next to the printer but will not span a typical desk gap.
