Connect USB-B devices to USB-C hosts

This 3 ft cable links a USB-B printer, hub or similar peripheral to a computer or tablet equipped with a USB Type-C port. It carries USB 3.0 signals for data transfer and sync at up to 480 Mbps. The reversible USB-C plug inserts on the first try and is rated for 10000 connection cycles. A colour-coded USB-C housing identifies the cable as a USB 3.0 lead.

Passive copper link with no active cooling

The cable draws 5 V at 500 mA from the host for device operation and charging, adding negligible heat to the system. No fan, radiator or external power supply is involved, so acoustic output is zero. Voltage drop over the 3 ft length stays within USB 3.0 limits for reliable enumeration.

Reversible USB-C connector eases daily use

The symmetrical USB-C end removes orientation guesswork when plugging into laptops, tablets or desktop front-panel ports. Colour coding lets technicians distinguish this USB 3.0 cable from other leads in a mixed loom. The 10000-cycle rating supports frequent connect-disconnect cycles in shared workspaces. Note that the cable does not support USB 3.1 features.

Questions about this item

How do I plug the USB-C end into my laptop without forcing it?

The USB-C connector is symmetrical so it inserts either way up; line up the oval shape with the port and push straight in until it clicks.

When will the connector wear out from repeated plugging and unplugging?

The USB-C plug is rated for up to 10000 connection cycles before the spring contacts may degrade.

What is the maximum data speed I will see during a long file transfer?

The cable supports USB 3.0 at up to 480Mbps, so sustained throughput will not exceed that rate.
