USB-C to USB-B printer cable

This 12 ft cable connects a device with a USB Type-C port to a printer, hub or other peripheral that uses a USB B connector. It is built for USB 2.0 communication and carries a data rate up to 480Mbps with 5 volts and 500 milliamps of power for operation and charging. The symmetrical USB-C plug inserts on the first try and is rated for up to 10000 connection cycles. Colour-coded ends identify it as a USB 2.0 cable.

Suits USB 2.0 peripherals; not for faster links

Users who need to link a USB-B printer, hub or similar accessory to a modern laptop or tablet with a USB-C port will find this cable fits the task. It does not support USB 3.1 communication or features, so anyone requiring the higher bandwidth of that standard cannot use this cable. Buyers needing a longer run should note the range tops out at 15 ft.

USB 2.0 data rate decides fit

The single specification that determines whether this is the right part is the 480Mbps USB 2.0 limit. If the peripheral and host must operate at USB 3.1 speeds, this cable will not meet the requirement. For standard USB 2.0 printing, syncing or charging duties the cable delivers the rated performance.

Questions about this item

What data rate does the USB 2.0 Type-C to USB-B interface cap at in practice?

The cable supports a data rate up to 480Mbps for data transfer and sync, limited by the USB 2.0 specification.

What physical ports and clearance does the 12 ft cable need to fit?

It requires a USB Type-C port on the host and a USB-B port on the device; the symmetrical Type-C connector fits either orientation.

How is the cable installed and what step do people get wrong?

Plug the Type-C end into the host and the USB-B end into the printer or hub; the reversible Type-C connector removes the upside-down insertion error.
