Connect modern and legacy USB devices

This 1-metre cable links a USB-C host to a USB-B peripheral such as a hard-drive enclosure or dock. It works with USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports and is also compatible with Thunderbolt 3 ports for flexible connectivity.

10 Gbps bandwidth decides suitability

The cable delivers up to 10 Gbps throughput, twice the speed of USB 3.0 and twenty times faster than USB 2.0. That rate determines whether large backups or project files move quickly enough for your workflow.

Handles 1.25 GB/s transfers with 24-pin connector

At the rated 1.25 GBps the cable comfortably shifts multi-gigabyte media libraries and system images. Beyond that ceiling the link saturates, so sustained workloads needing higher throughput will require a faster interface.

Questions about this item

What does the 10Gbps rating mean when I plug this cable into my laptop and a USB-B drive?

You can move up to 1.25 GBps between the computer and the drive, so large backups finish in roughly half the time of a 5Gbps link.

Which USB standard does the USB-C end use and what speed does it cap at?

The USB-C connector follows USB 3.1 Gen 2 and tops out at 10Gbps; it also works with Thunderbolt 3 ports at the same rate.

What physical space do I need for the 3.28 ft length and the connectors?

The cable stretches about one metre end to end, with a 24-pin USB-C plug on one side and a standard USB-B plug on the other, both straight and low-profile.
