Close-range USB 2.0 link

The StarTech USB2CB50CM is a 0.5 m cable that connects USB-B peripherals such as printers or mobile scanners to a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 host. Its short length keeps desk runs tidy for equipment positioned right next to the computer.

Durable braided construction

A braided jacket protects the 20/30 AWG conductors while nickel-plated connector shells resist wear from repeated mating. The cable carries USB 2.0 signals through a 24-pin USB-C plug and a 4-pin USB-B plug without any active circuitry.

Replaces longer legacy cables

It supersedes standard-length USB-A to USB-B leads when the host only offers USB-C ports and the device sits close by. The half-metre reach is not suited for setups where the peripheral sits farther from the host.

Questions about this item

How do I plug the USB-C end into my computer so it actually works?

Insert the USB-C male connector into any USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port on your computer; the reversible 24-pin design means it seats either way up.

Will the braided jacket or nickel-plated connectors need any upkeep after a year of daily use?

The braided cover and nickel-plated connector plates are built for durability and do not require scheduled maintenance or replacement under normal use.

At what point does the 20/30 AWG wire gauge limit data throughput during long print jobs?

The cable is rated for USB 2.0 speeds, so sustained transfers will not exceed that bandwidth regardless of session length.
