Connect USB Type-B devices to USB-C hosts

The PPA International cable links external hard drives, docking stations, printers and similar USB Type-B peripherals to a USB-C enabled notebook or desktop. It is built for users who need a direct connection without an adapter. Buyers who require a USB-A plug or a longer reach will need a different cable.

Backwards compatible with earlier USB standards

The cable works with USB 3.0, 2.0 and 1.1 ports, so older devices still connect at their native speeds. Thunderbolt 3 support is included for hosts that provide it. No active cooling or external power is involved, so the cable adds no noise or heat to the setup.

Sustained transfers at up to 10 Gb/s

USB 3.1 Gen 2 specification allows continuous data rates up to 10 Gb/s during extended copy or backup sessions. The reversible USB-C connector plugs in either orientation for convenience. Power delivery up to 3A supports bus-powered peripherals without a separate supply.

Questions about this item

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

The USB 3.1 Type-C connector is reversible, so it inserts either way up; line up the oval shape with the port and push straight in.

Will the cable degrade if I leave it plugged into my external drive all the time?

The connectors are rated for repeated mating cycles, but periodic inspection for bent pins or dust in the USB-B port will keep the link reliable.

At what point does the 10 Gb/s transfer rate drop during a long file copy?

Sustained throughput stays at 10 Gb/s until the host controller or the attached device hits its own thermal or power limit, not the cable itself.
