Cable purpose and compatibility

This USB-C to USB-B cable links a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 host to USB-B 3.0 peripherals such as external drives, docks or printers. It supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 data rates up to 10 Gbps and works plug-and-play without drivers. The reversible USB-C connector inserts either way for quick connections. The 1.7 ft length keeps the link short and tidy.

Who this suits and who it does not

It suits users who need a short, high-speed link between a modern USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port and a device fitted with a USB-B 3.0 socket. It does not suit builders who need a longer reach, buyers who want more storage, or anyone connecting USB-C peripherals directly to USB-C hosts. The male-to-male ends are fixed and cannot be adapted to other connector types.

Deciding specification

The single specification that decides fit is the USB-C to USB-B connector pairing combined with 10 Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 throughput. If the peripheral uses a USB-B 3.0 port and the host offers USB-C or Thunderbolt 3, this cable matches both the physical interface and the speed class. A different connector combination or a lower speed rating means this is not the right part.
