Connect Legacy USB-B Devices

This USB 2.0 cable connects printers, scanners, MIDI controllers and development boards with a USB-B port to modern computers equipped with a USB-C connector. The one-foot length suits desktop setups where the peripheral sits close to the host. It is built for data transfer only and does not carry power or video signals.

Sustained Data Transfer

Hi-Speed USB 2.0 delivers up to 480 megabits per second for reliable file transfers and device communication during extended sessions. Full shielding and molded strain relief minimise electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity when the cable remains plugged in for long periods. The reversible USB-C end clicks securely into place to prevent accidental disconnection.

Check Port Compatibility First

Verify that your peripheral uses a standard USB 2.0 type-B port; the connector is physically incompatible with USB 3.0 type-B ports found on some newer hard drives and docks. Ensure the host computer provides a USB-C or Thunderbolt port for the reversible plug. This cable cannot charge devices or drive displays, so it will not replace a power or video lead.

Questions about this item

Does the 1 ft cable generate noticeable heat or draw extra power when a printer runs all day?

The cable is passive USB 2.0 rated at 480 Mbps, so it carries only data current and does not produce measurable heat during continuous operation.

What port must my computer already have for this cable to work?

Your computer needs a USB-C or Thunderbolt host port; the other end plugs into a USB 2.0 Type-B device such as a printer or scanner.

Will this cable fit the square USB-B 3.0 port on my older external hard drive?

No — the device connector is USB-B 2.0 only and is physically incompatible with USB-B 3.0 ports.
