Connect legacy USB-B devices to modern USB-C ports

This Tripp Lite U040-006 cable links equipment with a USB Type-B connector to the USB Type-C port on a tablet, laptop or computer. The six-foot length provides flexible placement for peripherals such as printers, scanners or external drives. Nickel-plated connectors and gold-plated copper contacts ensure reliable conductivity. Molded connectors with integral strain relief add durability for daily use.

Suits users connecting older USB-B gear to newer

It works for anyone needing a direct link between a USB-B device and a USB-C port without an adapter. Buyers who require USB 3.0 or higher data rates should look at a different cable, as this model is limited to USB 2.0 speeds. The fixed male-to-male ends also mean it cannot join two female ports or convert a USB-A socket.

USB 2.0 data transfer up to 480 Mbit/s

The cable supports USB 2.0 Hi-Speed transfer rates of 480 Mbit/s, with a practical throughput of 60 MB/s. It remains backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices. Foil shielding protects signal integrity, and the reversible USB-C plug removes orientation guesswork. The 28 AWG conductors and lifetime warranty reflect the build quality.

Questions about this item

Does the 6 ft Tripp Lite U040-006 cable get warm or draw noticeable power during all-day data transfers?

The cable is passive and carries only USB 2.0 signals up to 480 Mbps, so it does not generate measurable heat or draw extra power during continuous use.

What port must my computer already have to use this USB Type-C male to USB B male cable?

Your computer needs an available USB Type-C port; the USB B male end plugs into the peripheral such as a printer, scanner or external drive.

Will this 6 ft cable work reliably with my older USB 1.1 hub or port?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with USB 1.1 applications while still supporting USB 2.0 speeds up to 480 Mbps.
