Monoprice USB 3.0 Type-C to Type-B Cable

This 6.00 ft cable connects USB 3.0 Type-C hosts to USB 3.0 Type-B peripherals. It uses 32awg conductors and a TPE jacket for a flexible, easy-to-route build. The Type-B end carries the five extra pins required for SuperSpeed data transfer. It suits external hard drives, docking stations and compatible laptops such as the MacBook Pro.

Suits USB 3.0 Type-B devices.

Builders linking a Type-C computer to a Type-B 3.0 drive or dock will find the correct ends here. The 1.8288 m length fits typical desk setups without excess slack. Buyers whose device uses a USB 2.0 Type-B, Micro-B, Mini-B or Type-A port need a different cable. This product does not adapt to those interfaces.

USB 3.0 Type-C to Type-B

The decisive specification is the USB 3.0 Type-B connector equipped with five additional pins for SuperSpeed signalling. Without those pins the link falls back to USB 2.0 speeds. Confirm the peripheral presents a USB 3.0 Type-B socket before ordering. The 32awg construction keeps the cable supple for repeated connection cycles.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 6.00 ft length or a shorter cable for my external drive?

The 6.00 ft cable gives plenty of reach for a desktop drive without excess slack; choose a shorter one only if the device sits right next to the port.

What does the USB 3.0 rating mean when I plug this into my laptop?

You get up to 5 Gbps SuperSpeed data transfer between the Type-C host and the Type-B device, provided both ends support USB 3.0.

How does the USB 3.0 Type-B connector differ from the older USB 2.0 Type-B?

The USB 3.0 Type-B plug carries 5 extra pins for SuperSpeed signals, so it only fits USB 3.0 ports and enables the higher transfer rate.
