USB-C to USB-B cable for legacy peripherals

This two-metre cable links a USB-C host such as a MacBook Pro, Surface Book 2 or Chromebook Pixel to USB-B 2.0 printers, scanners, hubs, hard drives and MIDI controllers. The connection is driver-free on the host side, though the peripheral may still need its own driver. Gold-plated plugs and an aluminium alloy shell give 100 % contact efficiency inside a fully shielded PVC jacket.

Build integration: direct replacement for older

It removes the need for a USB-A port or dongle on modern laptops, freeing that port for other accessories while keeping the same 480 Mbps USB 2.0 throughput. The 6.6 ft length reaches desktop printers or studio keyboards without strain, and the shielded construction protects data integrity against EMI and RFI noise in busy environments.

Upgrade path: replaces USB-A to USB-B cables

The jump is worth it when a new laptop drops USB-A entirely and you still rely on legacy USB-B gear such as a Yamaha or Casio digital piano, a MIDI controller or an older printer. It is not for users who need USB 3.0 or higher speeds, nor for connecting an Android phone or tablet directly to a printer.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum data rate the ORVIX cable can sustain during a long print job?

The cable supports USB 2.0 speeds up to 480 Mbps, which equals about 60 MBps, so sustained throughput will not exceed that figure.

Does the aluminum alloy shell and PVC jacket keep the cable cool and quiet when it runs all day?

The fully shielded PVC construction and gold plated plugs are designed for stable transmission and EMI/RFI protection; the cable carries only data and low power, so it generates no audible noise or noticeable heat.

Which USB-C host devices are confirmed to work with this cable for MIDI or printer use?

Compatible hosts include MacBook Pro, iMac 2017, iMac Pro, MacBook Air, Yoga 910, Zen AiO PC, XPS 13, XPS 15, Surface Pro, Surface Book 2, Chromebook Pixel, MateBook, Spectre Notebook and other Type C laptops or Windows tablets.
