USB-C to USB-B cable for printers and hubs
This 6 ft cable links a USB-B device such as a printer or hub to a host with a USB-C port. It is built for USB 3.0 data transfer up to 480 Mbps and supplies 5 V at 500 mA for device operation and charging. The reversible USB-C plug removes orientation frustration during everyday connections. Suitable for users who need a straightforward link between legacy USB-B gear and modern USB-C hosts.
Reversible USB-C connector rated for 10,000 cycles
The USB-C end features a symmetrical design that inserts on the first try and withstands up to 10,000 connection cycles. Colour coding identifies the cable as a USB 3.0 specification link and distinguishes it from cables with different feature sets. A black jacket provides a neutral appearance for desk or rack environments. The fixed 6 ft length suits typical desktop spacing without excess slack.
Verify your host has a USB-C port
Confirm the computer or tablet presents a USB-C receptacle and the peripheral uses a USB-B socket before ordering. This cable supports USB 3.0 communication only and does not carry USB 3.1 features. Longer runs up to 15 ft exist in the same family if the 6 ft reach proves insufficient. No driver installation is required for basic operation.

Questions about this item
Does the USB 3.0 Type-C to USB-B cable deliver its full 480 Mbps rate in practice?
The cable is rated for up to 480 Mbps data transfer under the USB 3.0 specification, with 5 V and 500 mA power for device operation and charging.
What physical clearance does the 6 ft USB-C to USB-B cable need at each end?
It uses a standard USB-C plug on one end and a standard USB-B plug on the other, so each port must accept those connector shapes without obstruction.
How do I install the C2G 28866 cable, and what step is often missed?
Plug the USB-C end into the host and the USB-B end into the device; the reversible USB-C connector removes orientation guesswork, but users sometimes forget to seat the USB-B plug fully until it clicks.
