USB-C to USB-B printer cable

This cable links USB-C laptops and PCs to legacy USB-B printers, scanners and printer-switch hubs. It also serves as a MIDI link for digital pianos, controllers and audio interfaces. The 3 metre length gives flexibility for desk or studio layouts. Plug-and-play operation requires no driver installation.

Gold-plated connectors and shielded PVC jacket

Male USB-C and male USB 2.0 Type-B ends both feature gold-plated contacts for reliable mating. The fully shielded PVC construction resists EMI and RFI interference during long print or audio sessions. Reversible USB-C plug simplifies insertion on the host side. Connectors are keyed to prevent misalignment.

USB 2.0 High-Speed at 480 Mbps

Data moves at up to 480 megabits per second, providing a wired link that is more consistent than wireless alternatives. The cable draws bus power from the host, so no external supply is needed. Low signalling voltage keeps heat negligible during continuous use. Silent passive operation suits quiet studios and offices.

Questions about this item

What USB standard does the cable use and what is the practical data-rate ceiling?

The cable follows the USB 2.0 specification and transfers at up to 480 Mbps.

What physical connectors and length does the cable have?

It has a USB-C male host connector and a USB 2.0 Type-B male device connector on a 3 metre black PVC cable.

How do I connect it and which orientation is the common mistake?

Plug the USB-C end into the computer or tablet and the Type-B end into the printer or MIDI device; the USB-C plug is reversible but the Type-B plug only fits one way, so do not force it upside-down.
