Connectivity for USB-C hosts and USB-B peripherals

This 1.8 m cable links a USB-C host such as a MacBook Pro 13, 15 or 16 inch, MacBook Air, iMac 2017, iMac Pro, Surface Pro, Surface Book 2, XPS 13, XPS 15, Spectre x2, Pavilion x2, Yoga 900, Zen AiO or MateBook to a device with a USB 3.0 or 3.1 Type-B port. Typical targets are external hard drives, docking stations, scanners and USB switches. The male-to-male connectors are gold-plated for reliable contact.

Thermals, noise and power draw

Passive copper construction means no fan noise, no active cooling and no external power adapter. The double-shielded, twisted-pair design keeps signal integrity high without generating measurable heat during normal 5 Gbps transfers. Power delivery follows the USB 3.1 specification, so the host supplies only the current the peripheral negotiates.

Upgrade path and when it matters

Replaces a legacy USB 2.0 Type-A to Type-B cable that tops out at 480 Mbit/s, raising the ceiling to 5 Gbit/s for large file moves and scanner workflows. The jump is worth it when the peripheral and host both support USB 3.0 or 3.1 Gen 2; it will not work with USB 2.0 Type-B ports because the connector shape differs. Buyers needing Thunderbolt 3 bandwidth or a USB 2.0 Type-B connection should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How do I connect this cable between a USB-C host and a USB 3.1 Type-B device, and what orientation mistake should I avoid?

Plug the USB-C end into the host port and the USB 3.1 Type-B end into the peripheral; the connectors are keyed so they only insert one way — do not force either side.

What part of this cable is most likely to wear out first with repeated plugging and unplugging?

The gold-plated male connectors on both ends are the primary wear points; handle by the housing, not the cable, to prolong contact life.

What limits the sustained transfer rate of this 1.8 m cable during long copy jobs?

The 5 Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 signalling ceiling is the first bottleneck; cable shielding and 28 AWG signal pairs are designed to maintain that rate over the full length.
